The Secret Machines (Indoors)
Sat. 08/02 | 7:00PM @ Stubb's Bar-B-Q (Downtown)
Brooklyn-via-Dallas space-rockers The Secret Machines are hoping to rekindle some of the magic that was created on their 2004 debut "Now Here Is Nowhere", expanding the newly reunite…more»
Brooklyn-via-Dallas space-rockers The Secret Machines received a warm welcome with their heaving 2004 debut, Now Here Is Nowhere, but with the announcement that longtime member Ben Curtis (brother to frontman Brandon Curtis) had left the band, the group fell surprisingly under the radar after 2006’s less proggy Ten Silver Drops. Expect brand-new material here, as a third Secret Machines LP is rumored to be done and awaiting release. The touring lineup of the recently re-manned group has reportedly expanded to four, all the better for a sound that, at its best, can sprawl like the expanding galaxies it conjures. Also playing: Ian Orth.

The members of Welsh band Bullet For My Valentine obviously grew up loving both the fleet-fingered axe-slingers on Headbangers Ball and the growly plaid-shirted grungesters on Alternative Nation, mixing heavy riffs and emo-style dynamics on 2005’s The Poison and the new Scream Aim Fire. Though the band embodies everything lame and bankrupt about the current too-tough-to-be-emo scene, it’d probably take as a compliment the fact that it’ll likely wind up being regarded as the glam-metal trash of the ’00s. The name Cancer Bats combines two frightful scourges that normally don’t mix, and the same could be said of the Toronto band’s hybrid of punk and Southern metal—and its stock is on the rise since its 2006 debut, Birthing The Giant, and its successor, this year’s Hail Destroyer. Also playing: Bleeding Through.

Arthur Lee and Bryan MacLean are gone, but members of the Ugly Beats and Nervous Exits keep Love alive with Forever Changes, a full-bodied tribute to one of L.A.’s best-ever bands. The Bellfuries’ new salvo, Palmyra, embodies a touch of Love-like ambition in its multicolored pastiche of all things pop, while McLemore Avenue brings the Memphis groove with finger-poppin’ fervor. No bummer in the summer here. – Greg Beetsmore at austinchronicle.com

After going on hiatus in 2002, Blue Mountain is back, and it’s like they never left. One of the top bands during the alt.country scare of the 1990s, the Mississippi-based trio celebrates the release of two new discs: the all-original Midnight in Mississippi and Omnibus, new recordings of older hits. Road reports say their roaring country-rock revue remains relentless and raw. – Jim Caligiurimore at austinchronicle.com
