Looking for action post-Lupo’s Bash on FRIDAY (the 30th)? It gets no better than Joe Fletcher’s WRONG REASONS, making a return visit to the 201, call 401.454.4581. There’s a pair of notewor-thy South Coast shows on Friday as well; choose from local Neil Young tribute supergroup FOREVER YOUNG (featuring Becky Chace) at the Narrows (508.324.1926), or go for total eardrum decimation at the New Wave Cafe (508.984.0080) courtesy of DELETED ARROWS, SICK ELECTRIC, and HOLLOWS warming it up for NATURE/NURTURE, celebrating their latest, EP002. And speaking of must-see 75orLess reps, SIX STAR GENERAL, CHRIS EVIL, and TWO FISTED LAW open for reigning Best Music Poll punks THE JESSE MINUTE at the 201 on SATURDAY. On TUESDAY (the 4th), RACHEL EFRON brings soulful piano to AS220 behind her recent 4 AM, while nostalgic rap heads should dust off the fisherman cap in honor of Golden Era greats EPMD at Jerky’s Bar. Damn, its been more than 20 years since Erick and Parrish played the Civic Center during the rap-fest heyday. And get back to Jerky’s on WEDNESDAY (the 5th) for a top-flight Cinco De Mayo celebration with none other than SANTA MAMBA, guaranteed to scorch the folks on the Jerky’s dancefloor. Call 401.621.2244 for info on both shows.
