"GENDERS This Detroit duo plays black-eyeliner-and-dead-roses music, like a slightly gothier hybrid of Tuxedomoon and the Residents, and singer Jeans (aka Jeffrey) sounds like a raging queen who just might fly into a hissy fit at any second. (Not that he ever does.) Their debut EP, There's Something in the Treats (Tigerbeat6), is slinky, creepy, and incredibly stylish, but without the pretension or materialism that stylishness often implies. Plus there's just enough sentimental dreaminess in their austere and icy sound to make you hope for a rush of warmth or an explosion of energy--but of course that payoff never comes. Instead of feeling let down, though, you feel fulfilled--you actually want to wallow, or you wouldn't be listening to this stuff in the first place. Adult. headlines and the Assassins play second. --> 8:30 PM, Logan Square Auditorium, 2539 N. Kedzie, 773-252-6179,"
