Lover!, Pity Fucks, DJ HWY 7

[GARAGE] It's bands like Lover! that make the umbrella term "garage rock" so highly unspecified. The Memphis band, last in Portland for the Scion Garage fest, arms itself with the basic arsenal of a modern garage band and yet comes out sounding, for lack of a better term, retro-fresh. Though most garage acts retread at least some aspects of the past, Lover! does so while holding onto a shred of originality, injecting just the right amount of pop hooks into its distortion and Rolling Stones-esque guitar lines. Expect material from the band's new EP, No Dreams Please, which just dropped a few short weeks ago. IAN RASMUSSEN. East End 9 pm. TK. 21+.
