Hearing Aid

Yes, Please

06.07 SCHOONER/ HUNDRED AIR @ LOCAL 506

If Chapel Hill bands Schooner and Hundred Air work for similar tastes (those of indie pop glory), they don't work for similar moods. Schooner's shadowy pop seeps darkness into cheery melodies, washing both behind reverb-and-keys haze. Hundred Air keeps a contented bounce in its strums and in frontman Adam Price's encouraging tenor. Point, counterpoint, all good. 10 p.m.—Bryan Reed
