Dollhands, Trunkweed, Dumb Doctors, Taxing

When: Fri., Jan. 5, 10 p.m. 2018

The guitars lurch from spidery and stinging to a dust ball of distortion. The bass is rubbery and pogoing. The clattery drums seem to be on loan from Swedish psych rockers Dungen, and Eric Smeal’s vocals sound like they were recorded in a closet four doors down the hallway. All of which means that garage rockers Dollhands are awesome, reeling out so many hooks amid the squall that you’ll trip. The trio gets extra points for this call to action: “Throw away your decorative flower pot!”
