Longwave
with Wheat, Bon Savants
Great Scott (1222 Comm Ave, Allston)
9pm, $10 [tix
Longwave revs up for its impending shows with OK Go and Bloc Party by playing Great Scott tonight. Expect slick, impressive pop with tight melodies and sweeping chords. Showing modern indie chops but occasionally venturing into 80s rock choruses, Longwave demonstrate that a band can sound radio-friendly even in a waning age of radio. Local boys Wheat (easier to listen to, harder to Google) actually appeal to us a little more, with a more down-home alt-rock style. Bon Savants have a laid-back sound good for lazy winter nights.
