Nothing is nothing if not disquieting. With every solid, lingering note, the local indie rock gang paints a glowering picture of swollen sonic backdrops that gently (but unevenly) fall on whispering, desperate intones. Tonight at Johnny Brenda's, they're back for their first show electrical, sharing the bill with Lotus Plaza, the solo project of the Deerhunter's guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Lockett Pundt, and Disappears, a Chicago supergroup (in its own right) featuring members of the Ponys, 90 Day Men, and BOAS. (BONUS: Sonic Youth's Steve Shelley is drumming for Disappears on their current tour - rad!) And if all this isn't enough, Nothing will also play new material this evening. Score.
