Nowhere to go this Tuesday night? No worries because Emo’s presents a bill of (pre) historic proportions. New York’s Pterodactyl headline in support of their debut full-length, titled either Blue Jay or simply Pterodactyl, depending on where you purchase it.

Out on two labels (Brah Records and Cardboard Records), the album contains energetic post-punk full of throbbing start-stop guitar rock and pulsating harmonies.

Local outfit When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth precede Pterodactyl in support of Snacks. This seven piece is adept at creating thunderous rock fit to awaken any ancient fossil. WDRTE seem to have two of everything -- guitars, drums, vocals -- definitely enhancing their ability to generate noise in large (and loud) volumes. Their fairly well organized wall of sound, along with their clever song titles should add to this entertaining line-up, so leave those Sci-Fi movies at home for a night. Instead, enjoy a bit of post-everything at Emo’s. Look Mexico (from Tallahassee) and Houston’s Bring Back The Guns open.
