Just coming off the release of their third album By Night (Epitaph Records), Los Angeles’ Plague Vendor are making the cross-country trek to Brooklyn’s Rough Trade for an evening of high-energy post-punk tunes that are as catchy as they are edgy. Singer Brandon Blaine describes By Night as “A house that’s falling apart but lit up like crazy.” So, be sure to catch their Rough Trade gig on Oct. 10, because it’s going to be lit up like crazy, too.
