Music Menu / News Andrew W.K., Hardcore Lounge and The Machete Music Tour tonight (Oct. 23)

Posted By on Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 8:20 AM

ANDREW W.K. Ryan Schreiber of Pitchfork once gave W.K.'s record "I Get Wet" a point-six, further calling the man's entire oeuvre "blistering tard-rock." A lot of things have happened since then: W.K. has become a motivational speaker (no kiddin'), he's been dropped by a satchel of record labels, and even been accused of having been a corporate construction all along. As for yours truly, I always thought of the man as something akin to a joke that seemed to be on everyone's lips but with a punchline impossible to parse. Whatever it was — and is — is probably immaterial at this point. To his credit, the "music" has decidedly not stood the test of time, which somehow seems to give the whole affair a little more humanity. Amos' Southend (Timothy C. Davis)

MACHETE MUSIC TOUR Many would argue the reggaeton era in music has passed but for a generation that come of age during its height, it still holds a special place for them. The biggest names in Reggaeton and Latin urban music descend on the Queen City with a roster as stacked as they come. Ivy Queen, Tego Calderon and more will grace the stage. I wish I spoke Spanish. $35-$85, Bojangles' Coliseum, www.bojanglescoliseum.com (Mike McCray)

HARDCORE LOUNGE The Johnson Brothers, Wes (vocals) and Chris (keyboards, vocals) are continuing the tradition. They're third generation performers to be precise, following the steps of the famed Johnson Family Singers. After nearly a decade of performing, Hardcore Lounge is celebrating the release of Dance of My Life. The multi-hued genre hopper can be pegged as jazz, lounge and pop, but that's only a start. . Charlotte music stalwarts Marlon Young, Marco Heeter and Mary Massie Allegrucci round out the crew. With Tara Busch and Jay Coop. $5, Snug Harbor, www.snugrock.com (Samir Shukla)
