Meeks, darkly. “I’ve spent the past couple of years trying to slither out of my Ameri- cana, old country skin and get a little less genre-specific,” says
Mile Pilot, and Mr. Tube & the Flying Objects. “People can expect a whole new musi- cal style from our band. The album title, On a Sea Darkly, was my bandmate Matt Resovich’s idea. It was a nod to a photo project his mom did when he was younger, called Through a Lens Darkly, which was a nod to the Ingmar Berg- man film Through a Glass Darkly.

instruments like the musi- cal saw and all of his music has a very interesting and dark cinematic vibe to it. The opener, Preston Swirnoff, will be playing music from his newest project called Haunted Sea Songs of Bahia. It’s a sort of homage to an old Brazil- ian singer/songwriter named Dorival Caymmi. He sings in Portuguese and does both cov- ers of Caymmi and original compositions in that style. “Really cool stuff you’d nor- mally never hear in a dive bar
in San Diego.” — Jay Allen Sanford
