Turbo Fruits, Chief Scout


One of many outgrowths of Be Your Own Pet, the beloved baby-faced godfathers (and mother) of the somewhat distended Nashville garage-rock scene, Turbo Fruits are perhaps the most polished apples on the family tree, having graduated from youthful guitar freak-outs to clean, catchy pop bombs. No Control is the band’s latest release, out now on Thirty Tigers; the record is a fine, fitting soundtrack to lazy summer fun. Athens-based openers Chief Scout continue to turn heads with their smartish take on arena-rock posturing. This must-see mid-week double bill is all but guaranteed to liven up your Hump Day night.

9:30 p.m. $7 (21+), $9 (18–20). caledonialounge.com
