Like an Old Testament plague, San Diego's experimental grind-punk vets the Locust swarm up the I-5 for a one-off show at the Echo. Angelenos with a taste for noise would do well to catch this gig, the last Locust performance in the States before the band hits Europe. Although the Locust have released a dozen or so records since 1995, nothing hits like their live set, all neck-snapping rhythmic shifts, throat-shredding vocals, and, of course, four grown men in skin-tight bug costumes. Come early for a set by LA's own Qui, who meld sludgy guitar to a pummeling rhythm section and vocals by ex-Jesus Lizard madman David Yow.
