ELVIS PERKINS IN DEARLAND
(Sat, 8:30 pm, Northwest Court) Elvis Perkins in Dearland sound like they're being beamed in on an old-timey radio (you know, the kind in the big wooden cabinet like your grandparents had) from, well, old-timey times. There's weeping, woozy brass; hard-pounding piano; trembling organ; a dustbowl troubadour's acoustic guitar; and music-hall-sized drums. Then there's Perkins's well-worn and world-weary croon. Everything is positively time-warped. EG
By comparison... THE HONEY BROTHERS
(Sun, 3:15 pm, Mural Amphitheatre) Adrian Grenier, of Entourage fame, is in a lame folk band. Somebody else in the group plays ukulele. Ugh, whatever. Just go and stare into Grenier's hauntingly blue eyes as he bangs away at his drum kit, and imagine that you are the drum kit. JSL
