Project Wednesdays at Proof Bar, the surprisingly swank little bar/lounge hybrid nestled in the heart of the Santa Ana Artists Village, is a rock interlude to an otherwise hip-hop and Top 40 work week. This Wednesday's session features local band Bellhaunts, who invite you to “come out and listen to our adult angst,” better described as quick-paced, surf-tinted garage rock fronted by a beguilingly gritty wild woman vocalist. Sharing the bill is Grinning Ghosts, a honky tonk of OC-by-way-of-Memphis scuzz rock. Pair the two with a heavy-handed cocktail from the bar and you've got yourself an early start to a rocking' weekend.
