SUNTAN. Boston’s own space rockers crank up effects-laden guitars supplemented with organ swells to forge a new path for psychedelia. What the group lacks in bass they compensate with effects and the occasional violin sample. Also performing are Victory at Sea, Kingsbury Manx, and Jeffery Simmons & The Symptoms. Friday, August 15, 9 p.m. $8. T.T. the Bear’s Place, 10 Brookline...

...troops from South Korea. "A unified Korea, if it turns more pro-China than pro-Japan, would be intolerable from Japan's perspective," says Takashi Inoguchi, a professor of political science at the University of Tokyo.
