With myriad equally worthy bands lined up to grace Houston stages this week, concertgoers may find themselves basking in the local music scene a few times.
Hailing from Brooklyn, Japanther will share its messy fusion of pop punk at an early show hosted by Indie Houston on Sunday at the Caroline Collective, 4820 Caroline St.
The pairing of Ian Vanek’s offbeat drumming and spliced rap cassette sounds with Matt Reilly’s fuzzy bass lines and droning distortion gives the band’s short, punk singsongs a raw touch that’s only enhanced in its live performances.
Reilly’s jumpy key rhythms, performed on his vintage Casio, will leave fans itching to dance.
The duo will play along with six other acts for only $6.
Killer Dreamer, American Sharks, The Mathletes, GRRRL Parts and Fat Tony will perform opening acts starting at 4 p.m.
