Night+Day

Get Ready, Get Set Rock shows are supposed to build momentum throughout the evening, but every once in a while, the energy ebbs in a slow hypnotic swirl. Expect it at a triple bill beginning with local acts Snowmen (featuring Cole Marquis of 28th Day) and Cars Get Crushed, and concluding with the American Analog Set of Texas. Lingering psychedelia links all three, but in the case of the first two, it's the brighter, harder-edged variety. The American Analog Set are more dreamy than druggy, heavy on Farfisa organ and bed-head atmospherics. Songs like "Too Tired to Shine" are more like lullabies than anthems, but when you're not rocking out, it's nice to actually hear lyrics, isn't it? Snowmen open the show at 9:30 p.m. at the Bottom of the Hill, 1233 17th St. (at Texas), S.F. Admission is $6; call 621-4455.
