Music Menu / News In concert: The Public Good & G. Love and Special Sauce (03/20/2010)

Posted By on Sat, Mar 20, 2010 at 9:30 AM

The Public Good These D.C.-based, power-pop wundermen should jog the failing memories of anyone old enough to remember what the hell college rock radio was (or who attended West Charlotte High back in the day). Songwriters John Elderkin and Steve Ruppenthal formed the nucleus of Chapel Hill's The Popes in the late '80s/early '90s, and the new band (which also includes local Chris Garges on the kit) hasn't strayed from those seminal roots: Warehouse-era Husker Du power-pop and Beatles-friendly melodies, garnished with some Kinks' clever. With the like-minded gogoPilot. Snug Harbor (Schacht)

G. Love and Special Sauce The last time G. Love was in town, his show with Jason Mraz was rained out and he ended up tearing through an acoustic set on the stage of The Fillmore for those lucky enough to get in. If you missed it, here's your chance to get an idea of what happened. If you were there, here's a chance to see G. Love play a full, plugged-in set. No doubt you're going to get a mix of funky and fresh with the old and restyled as only he can mix it up. Amos' Southend (Jeff Hahne)
