THE NEW TRUST
(Caledonia) North California's The New Trust is celebrating the release of its debut full-length album, Dark Is The Path Which Lies Before Us. The quartet brims with efficient mid-'90s indie energy, kind of like a co-ed Promise Ring or even maybe a bit like the Pixies.

Every Wednesday, 8 p.m.
JASON “LEFTY” WILLIAMS
(Amici) One-armed Atlanta guitarist Jason “Lefty” Williams at age six fashioned a pick to fit on what his website likes to call “his nubb,” and since he’s been turning out electrified rock, delving into funk, country and jazz covers and originals, either solo or with a backing band.

DARK MEAT
(40 Watt) Psychedelic garage-rock rave-ups with both Neil Young’s sprawl and the efficient and explosive fun sounds of the Stooges. More than a dozen members. Horn section called the Vomit Lasers. Backup singing and choreographed dance moves courtesy The Subtweeters. Costumes. Face paint. More. Debut album Universal Indians proves there are impressive songs beneath all that racket.
DEAD CONFEDERATE

HOPE FOR AGOLDENSUMMER
(40 Watt) It's been months since a full-blown Hope show, and for good reason; the band has been undergoing some lineup shifting lately.

NIGHTINGALE NEWS
(Mercury Lounge) Nightingale News is Seattle import Coy King's songwriting vehicle, and there's a bit of the early folk/ beatnik Tom Waits in King's hangdog performance, and his harmonica-guitar combo at times bridges very early and very recent Nick Cave in troubadour mode.
THE OLD CEREMONY
(Tasty World) Chapel Hill's The Old Ceremony is a seven-piece band making what it calls "pop-noir." The sound bridges the exotic and the American in much the same way that Waits and Gainsbourg could, and the new album Our One Mistake comes across as both nostalgic and anachronistic in charming ways.
THE ONES
(Flicker) The folk-influenced dream-rockers in The Ones center around the duo of Sara-J Ursrey and Michael Linhardt. Tonight the new full-band incarnation of The Ones takes the stage, with Alliene Bouchard, Andrea Ivy Waterstone and Kie Cochran, and the addition of percussion sometimes takes things into moody tropicalia. 8:30 p.m.

TIMBER
(Little Kings) Last year's full-length album from the local alt-country band is called Dark Heart… Lucky Hand. There've been some lineup shifts in the group recently; should be a rawer presentation of lead singer Daniel Aaron's wistful, fiery country pop.
TWO TON BOA
(Caledonia) Sophomore disc Parasiticide was released on Kill Rock Stars last month; the albums reinforces the notion that heavy music can be pretty as well, as Sherry Fraser's dark lyrics and the band's double bass guitars gloomify the low end somewhere between the Dresden Dolls and Sleater-Kinney.
Friday, March 23
THE AVETT BROS.
(Georgia Theatre) The three-piece revivalist act mixes of old-time country, bluegrass, pop melodies, folk, rock, honky-tonk and ragtime, but pulls in a modern take on performance energy. The newest of several releases is called The Gleam.
BOYS LIKE GIRLS
(40 Watt) The young Boston-based band Boys Like Girls - Martin Johnson (vocals, guitar), Bryan Donahue (bass), John Keefe (drums) and Paul DiGiovanni (guitar) - comes across like neo-emo popsters Simple Plan and Panic! at the Disco, but mostly the All-American Rejects.

HAM 1
(Caledonia) Guitarist Jim Willingham handles the frontman stuff, while Eric Harris (drums), Jacob Morris (cello), Chris Sugiuchi (trombone) and others join in.
