Music Menu / News The Old 97s, Eliah, The Whigs tonight (4/14/11)

The Old 97s Last year’s record, The Grand Theatre Volume One, the first in a two-volume series, is an all-around tidy affair for the Old 97’s. Since the early ’90s, the Texas band has melded power pop into their roots and country rock inlaid with heaping punk energy. The steely guitar riffs spin circles around taut, often witty, tales. They put on a smashing live show to boot. With Teddy Thompson. $20-$24. Visulite Theatre. www.visulite.com. (Samir Shukla)

Eliah This Brooklyn-born, Charlotte-based artist strives to do it all. Writing, producing, singing, all in the name of soul. Bearing his heart on tracks that remind you of something you grew up on, Eliah lays it all out there from the loving and sincere, to the heartache and outright inspirational. Clearly influenced by luminaries like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, you can tell he hopes to make people feel that same way. Climate Control accompany him. Jet Ultra Lounge. (Mike McCray)

The Whigs Stack the Whigs among killer rock trios — Nirvana, Husker Du, et al — and give ’em a permanent spot in the continuing story of the fertile music burb of Athens, Ga. The combo’s new recording, In the Dark, spews hard rocking pop evolved over the past half decade. The Whigs build layered compositions that fold the volume into the farther reaches of the track. With Company of Thieves and gogoPilot. $14-$16. Neighborhood Theatre. www.neighborhoodtheatre.com. (Shukla)
