It’s the time of year when there are nonstop shows to see, and the beginning of this week is a perfect example of that. The week starts off with garage-rock party-animal King Khan and his band the Shrines playing at Empty Bottle on Monday night. Reggie’s is the place to be on Tuesday, with Black Flag’s once-again retooled lineup playing two shows in the Rock Club (an early all-ages “kids show” and a regular full-blast one later on) and Robby Krieger of the legendary Doors playing in the Music Joint. On Wednesday, local dub-reggae band Ted Sirota’s Heavyweight Dub play a free show at the Whistler; and if you’re feeling nostalgic, Presidents of the United States of America are playing at House of Blues on Tuesday.
Beets front man Juan Wauters is out on the road supporting his solo venture. “The songs on his debut solo album, N.A.P. North American Poetry, are as stripped-down and simple as anything by the Beets, both lyrically and musically,” says Kevin Warwick. “But here Wauters acquires a new mystique—picture him in a vintage black-and-white photograph, sitting alone on a bus bench, only his guitar case in tow.”
