With a line-up that reads like a who’s who of underground buzz bands, the Hi-Dive (emphasis on “dive”) is one of the coolest indie-music venues in a town that knows indie music.

Small and dingy, it nonethless draws the idiosyncratic likes of string maestro Anni Rossi; Dengue Fever, influenced above all by old Cambodian pop and surf rock; and neo-psychedelic groovers Starlight Mints.

And when you get your fill of tunes, you can load up in turn on suds and grub like the famous sweet potato fries at Sputnik, the hi-dive’s adjacent sibling.
