VENDING MACHETES: GOOD GRIEF
I’m typically not one to venture near anything remotely resembling hardcore, but this tight set of six songs is executed with such energy and proficiency that I often found myself air drumming despite my reservations. Continue reading

SHE WANTS REVENGE @ BRIGHTON MUSIC HALL
Dark, but not darkwave, post-punk, but you can dance to it, the “nervous energy coupled with well-springs of fear” non-genre of Valley duo She Wants Revenge can be best compared to one of those break-ups where everyone’s smiling while asking terrifying questions. “So, I guess I should just burn the rest of your clothes, right? Ha-ha.” “Would you prefer I sleep with your sister or slash your tires? Just kidding.” “You weren’t too attached to that dog, were you? Tee-hee.” “I wonder what I’m going to do if I see you with him at the show tonight at the Brighton Musical Hall. MURDER-STARE.”

THE SHEILA DIVINE @ THE PARADISE
Assuming that you recognize the words Gideon Yago as being ever so much more than just a suspiciously smug grouping of syllables, then you’re probably already familiar with early-aughts post-punk set The Sheila Divine. Show tonight at the Paradise. Get to it, Gramps. For the rest of ya’, with your schnazzy tricorder phones and your avant-garde omnisexual pop starlets, these three are local alt-rock royalty, having smoothed out the bumpy transition from the bitchy-bitch yell-yell of the late ’90s into the mopey-mopey fret fret of modern music. More modern music. Show ‘em respect, ya Bieber-lovers. [71 Comm. Ave., Boston 617.562.8814. 8pm/18+/$18. thedise.com]
