The Nice Boys headline Club NME LA

The Saints are forced to cancel due to visa troubles

The Nice Boys headlined Club NME Los Angeles with Fred Perry Subculture last night (July 25).

The Portland quartet played a lively set filled with three-part harmonies and '70s-style guitar riffs while the crowd cheered and sang along.

Meanwhile, Australian punk legends The Saints were forced to cancel their first LA show in 20 years due to visa troubles.

Taking their slot were the lively LA seven-piece Jail Weddings.

Resident DJ Dia spun a mix of rock, electronica, punk and hip-hop before and after the sets.

Club NME with Fred Perry Subculture takes place at Spaceland in the Silver Lake neighbourhood of Los Angeles every Wednesday night.

Next Wednesday (August 1), Great Glass Elevator and Houseguest are set to headline Club NME LA with Fred Perry Subculture.
