Sweet melodies or sweaty grooves? The night offers both. Hailing from across the pond, Papa Topo (Spain) is unabashedly committed to playful pop arrangements that evoke some modernized ABBA feels that border Alaska. Now for the sweat. Electric Street Queens swagger and growl throughout their recordings. The Cramps come to mind. Fuzz-tinged guitars and galloping drums move their short compositions forward. Feminist punks rejoice! Come to the Lilypad to rot those teeth and soil those pits. 10pm // All Ages // $10
