Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends, Los Meesfits, Hypersleep

Led by scene lifer Conan Neutron, a singer-songwriter and guitarist known for fronting the Bay Area noise-rock band Replicator, as well as his ongoing “Protonic Reversal” podcast, where he interviews a laundry list of fellow indie rockers, Conan Neutron and the Secret Friends features a rotating lineup of supporting players that has included members of Melvins and Trophy Wives. In Athens, the Wisconsin-based group will invite Motherfucker guitarist Erica Strout to augment its propulsive post-punk sound. Saturday’s Little Kings show also features the salsa-oriented Misfits cover band Los Meesfits, as well as the new local space-rock four-piece Hypersleep.
