Firstly, there’s the Donald Glaude appearance at Last Supper Club that Kevin just wrote about. Then, if you’re looking for some loud metal to blow off steam and feel all your work stress melt away, Brothers of the Sonic Cloth, Lesbian, Greyceon and Guns of Barisol are playing at the Comet Tavern tonight at 9 p.m. for $7.The Lonely Forest (pictured), the Globes, New Faces and Wild Orchid Children play the Vera Project tonight to celebrate the release of the Lonely Forest’s lovely new pop album, We Sing The Body Electric! That starts at 7:30 p.m. and will cost you $8. It is, as always, all ages. You can read about that right here. Crystal Stilts and Wavves hit the UW Hub tonight as well; that’s at 7 p.m., and will cost you either $6(students) or $10(everyone else).Wavves’ Nathan Williams isn’t trying to convince anyone that Wavves is revolutionary. He isn’t trying to spearhead a new musical movement or define a new aesthetic. Williams maps out his intentions best with the resigned, drawn out chorus and murky surf punk of “So Bored.” He needed something to do, and he had a guitar. It’s telling that the lyrical thrust of much of Wavves’ material focuses so exclusively on the affliction which serves as its provenance, as if Williams’ ennui and ingenuity comprise an exclusive symbiotic relationship, and Williams doesn’t mind wallowing in it a bit. Williams isn’t the first kid to thrash together a few chords in order to keep ennui at bay, nor is he the first to drench the results in noise and clatter. Where Wavves shines is in its ability to assimilate the various parts of its musical personality–without sounding like “X reinterpreted as Y.” This is not pop music re-imagined as lo-fi noise; even though Wavves is noisy, it comes complete with a finely calibrated pop sheen. NICHOLAS HALLMonthly local hip hop showcase the Corner is also happening tonight at Jewelbox, at 10:30 p.m. and for $5 like usual; artists performing tonight are Fatal Lucciauno, Helladope, Mr. Hill, Speedy and J-Mar. Also, according to the Showbox website, tomorrow night’s Bloc Party/Menomena show is sold out, which means that if you want to see them (and I should mention that you really do want to get there on time to see both bands, because Menomena is outstanding), you must attend tonight’s show. It costs $25 and doors are at 8 p.m. And it is all ages. Bloc Party’s four members were all in their mid-twenties when they recorded their first two albums Silent Alarm and A Weekend in the City. So the genuine urgency and conviction with which they delivered indie-pop songs on romance and politics deeply resonated with young adults in their home country of Great Britain and those overseas. The band’s third album Intimacy, which was released late last summer, is a far cry from the initial work that earned them a dedicated following. Less post-punk and more dance, it features prominent usage of multilayered vocals and instrumentation a la the Chemical Brothers. It’s also the band’s most personal work to date. On “Trojan Horse” frontman Kele Okereke bitterly observes “You used to take off your watch before we made love” and on “Signs” he mournfully confesses, “I see signs all the time/ That you’re not dead, you’re sleeping/ I believe in anything/ That brings you back home to me.” It’s a stunning effort from a band that’s shifted from shoving their fervor down everyone’s throats to simply pulling them in with a quieter confidence.
