the Go, Those Peabodys, Faceless Werewolves, Big Black Smoke
Sun. 08/26 | 7:00PM @ Beerland (Downtown)
The Go is still known as “that one band Jack White was in before he was famous”—though that isn’t really fair. After all, The Go was a contemporary of The White Stripes in Detroit’s late-’90s garage-rock scene, and though the group didn’t have the looks or hooks of the city’s more successful bands, it certainly did right by the city’s skinny-boy sound on 1999’s Whatcha Doin’. The band’s latest, Howl On The Haunted Beat You Ride, finds The Go moving deftly from deader-than-dead garage rock to slightly less tired ’70s power pop and soft rock, incorporating the heartrending balladry of Badfinger on the lovely “Caroline” and almost bubblegum-glam choruses on bouncy, Sweet-like numbers such as “Invisible Friends.” Opening: Those Peabodys, Big Black Smoke, Faceless Werewolves. www.theonion.com
