New York’s Parquet Courts is the new project of Andrew Savage of Fergus & Geronimo (with his little bro Max Savage on drums). The music is like a weird collage of stony post-punk, angular rock, and confident, slackadaisical lyrics—their 2012 album, Light Up Gold, has been the perfect addition to my warm weather “at least it’s not raining as much” playlist. Show up on time and let local art-core three-piece Naomi Punk bathe you in their heavy, melty, grunge-dipped magic. (Neumos, 925 E Pike St, neumos.com, 8 pm, $12, 21+)
