So they all met in high school, started a band, built a solid local following, and they're starting to take off. The Summer Set isn't exactly the most unique pop-punk band to hit the scene, but the genre isn't about innovation anymore. It's about throwing together catchy hook, having awesome hair, and touring until you're famous.

he Summer Set are stopping at The Dugout (7413 NE 54th Street, Miami), an all ages, alcohol free venue, this Saturday starting at 6 pm. They'll be playing with And Then There Was You (who are throwing their CD release party that same night) Jacob's Ladder, Falling Alarm, and Space Station 5. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door.

Hit the jump to see The Summer Set's newest video in which they spoof Saved By The Bell.
