YES, PLEASE
10.25 THE PNEUROTICS/ PONCHOS FROM PERU @ JACK SPRAT
Both Chapel Hill's Pneurotics and Wilmington's Ponchos From Peru have made friends and fans in Durham's quirk-embracing music community, and for good reason: The Pneurotics' meat-and-potatoes Southern rock gets a kick from frontman Rich McLaughlin's jagged, static-draped guitar lines, which zig-zag as welcome aberrations through his songs' straightforward foundations. Meanwhile, the Ponchos bash out K Records-style pop on pawn shop guitars and school band horns with the off-the-cuff charm of initials carved in a park bench. $5/ 11 p.m. —Bryan Reed
