Inner Wave take 'See You When I Get Back' to the Glass House for two nights

The Gardena-born indie-rock band play Pomona on Friday, Oct. 30, then return for a Halloween show on Saturday.

Inner Wave are giving Pomona the whole weekend. The Southern California indie-rock band play The Glass House on Friday, Oct. 30, then return Saturday for a Halloween show on Oct. 31. Both nights start at 8 p.m., both are all-ages, and tickets are on DICE. The promoter bills the stand as Inner Wave "return[ing] to The Glass House for two nights," and our records agree. The Inland Empire is the market they've played more than any other: 10 shows.

To be precise about geography, Inner Wave aren't from the 909. The band formed in Gardena, in L.A.'s South Bay, where the founding trio grew up together, and their singer has talked about skating around Gardena between practices. Still, a band can have more than one home, and Pomona keeps bringing them back.

This year gives them a reason. See You When I Get Back, Inner Wave's fifth full-length album, came out this year on Nettwerk. It is their debut for the label and their proper follow-up to 2021's *Apoptosis*. DICE's tour copy calls the record "a massive leap" for the band, and FLOOD, writing in February, described a neo-psych record the band walked through track by track. A deluxe edition with six new tracks from the album sessions followed on Sept. 18, so this tour has a few more songs to choose from than the original album.

The album has a life beyond the speakers too. Earlier this year the band held a screening and Q&A for a *See You When I Get Back* film at Brain Dead Studios in Los Angeles, which says something about how big they wanted this album cycle to be.

Pomona keeps bringing them back, and this time they're staying the weekend.

The Glass House is the right room for that kind of return. The 800-capacity downtown Pomona venue is a cornerstone of the all-ages circuit, and two consecutive nights there, one of them Halloween, is the kind of booking a venue gives a band it knows will fill the floor twice.

If you're choosing a night, it comes down to atmosphere. Friday is the straight show: album tour, new songs, a crowd there for the music. Saturday is billed as a "special Halloween show," so expect costumes in the crowd and possibly onstage. Nettwerk has described the band as SoCal Latin indie rockers, and a Halloween show in a packed Pomona room is about as SoCal as it gets.

Two nights, one room, a new record and a deluxe edition still fresh. If you've been waiting to hear *See You When I Get Back* loud, this is the weekend.
