Music Menu / News California Guitar Trio, Dark Star Orchestra, Modern Primitives tonight (2-5-11)

Posted By on Sat, Feb 5, 2011 at 8:52 AM

CALIFORNIA GUITAR TRIO Originally coming together playing with (Robert) Fripp's League of Crafty Guitarists, the California Guitar Trio's evolved virtuosity on guitars creates spacey originals, classical interpretations, jazz, surf and covers ranging from "Bohemian Rhapsody" (makes sense) to "Freebird" (huh?). But they make it work, with otherworldly playing and the ability to rise out of the fretwork to write fine original compositions, as well. Their newest released is the aptly titled Andromeda. $15. The Evening Muse. www.theeveningmuse.com. (Shukla)

DARK STAR ORCHESTRA The only tribute band I know of to play note-perfect (and note-not-so-perfect, as the case may be) entire shows of their host band — The Grateful Dead, in this case — in their entirety, DSO so impressed Dead members Bob Weir and Phil Lesh that the pair signed guitarist John Kadlecik to join their band Furthur. Since forming, the band has performed over 1,800 shows, which means they may well be tighter than the Dead themselves were toward the end of the line. What show are you going to get? Who knows. But they may well be due for some Barton Hall/Europe '72 action soon. As with the Dead, you never know just what you're going to get. $24-$26. Neighborhood Theatre. www.neighborhoodtheatre.com.

MODERN PRIMITIVES The first time I saw the Modern Primitives play live, they were rocking a jam packed living room in Plaza Midwood, complete with hot chicks, drunks and crowd surfers coming dangerously close to ceiling fans. I can only imagine what they'll do on an actual stage. The fairly new Charlotte rock outfit is moving crowds with upbeat surf rock that's raw, catchy and chaotic. Secret Hospital and Motel Glory are also on the bill. $5. Snug Harbor. www.snugrock.com. (McCray)
