Good Customers

More breaking news about awesome upcoming concerts! The Junior Boys are playing the Record Bar on April 17! The last time Junior Boys came through — back in my wilder days — hardly anyone was there. This time will be different because you. Will. Not. Fucking. Miss. It.

If you’re out tonight, check out In the Pines and Kirsten Paludan at Californo’s in Westport — a venue that hardly ever hosts concerts but is a sweet place to have a cocktail. The theme there tonight: cozy yet harrowing. Lonely hearts should make a beeline.

Elsewhere, the Rich Boys storm the Brick with No Man No; there’s a punk show at the Record Bar starring the F-Bombs; and Davey’s hosts the Water Winta … no … Waka Winter Classic.

Saturday at Davey’s, catch two of mighty rock woman Heather Lofflin’s bands, Whiskey Boots and the brand-new Diamond Heart Club (featuring Mark Hennessey of legendary local grunge band Paw), along with the gut-stomping Federation of Horsepower.

Find out what Ghosty‘s been up to lately Saturday at the Record Bar, when they play with Conner and Animals with Armour. Murmurings of new Ghosty material have carried a high degree of favorability. In fact, that new track on their Web site’s audio player — “A Good Customer” from the upcoming new album No Nothing, evidently — sounds promising.

Sunday, my heroes the Pink Socks are playing with The Terminals at Fred P. Ott’s on the Plaza. There’s not much real rock and roll to be found live-and-in-person these days. Be reminded of how it sounds, looks and shamalams at this show.
