Dikes of Holland, Woven Bones, & Mocktigers @ Emo's [Wednesday]

Cast aside your midweek malaise and head to Emo’s on Wednesday to reinvigorate, courtesy of four talented (and somewhat under the radar) local acts on the inside stage. First up, shake your fist to noisy pop-punk from Sex Advice. Mocktigers follow with a polished dark-wave sound that contains essential deep, gruff vocals, shimmering guitars, and pulsating rhythms. Third on the bill are Woven Bones, who will undoubtedly turn up the volume a tad higher with worthy blasts of shoegaze and psychedelia. The band released a split 7" with Jacuzzi Boys on Needless Records recently; buy it via the label’s MySpace page. Dikes of Holland round off the night with still more rock ‘n’ roll.

Emo’s Outside stays busy on Wednesday as well -- the Brewster McCracken Online Town Hall Happy Hour kicks off at 6:30 p.m. -- the Mayorial candidate fields questions from 7 to 8 p.m. Performances by Zookeeper, Salesman, Big Mess follow; DJ Mel pilots the beats.
