Music Menu Octopus Jones at the Evening Muse tonight (6/1/2012)

Posted By on Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 9:00 AM

OCTOPUS JONES Musical relevance in the tourist trap of Myrtle Beach - aka the Grand Strand of shite cover acts and tiki lounge jam bands - takes perseverance and, no doubt, a healthy ability to ignore one's surroundings. But this quintet's self-styled "spank-wave boogie" manages a compellingly weird hybrid of regionally apropos elements (surf guitars and syncopation) and glammy, post-punk sounds you'd never associate with their hometown. Kinda like the Ventures and Echo & the Bunnymen bunking up - yeah, it's strange, but it works. This has all the makings of a good rock ‘n' roll show with locals Little Bull Lee, Savannah, Ga.'s Cusses and Winston-Salem shoegazers White Rifles. $6. Evening Muse.
