They opened with the sprawling lead track from They Were So Wrong, “Broken Witch,” exchanging guitar from Hemphill with drum fills, as Andrew croaked a sullen chant: “I, I am the boy; she, she is the girl; he, he is the bear.

...this isn't DAVE MATTHEWS' new horn section. It's a scene from the movie Because of Winn-Dixie, in which the folksy jam-band leader plays a pet-store worker who is also "a guitar-strumming felon," Matthews says.

The music of the Cannibal Kings range from world beat to Latin, reggae to jazz funk, all centered around guitar rock and gritty lyrics. The Vancouver band Catapult will celebrate the release of their EP, and The Lingo also plays. 9 p.m. Tickets $5; 18+. T.T. the Bear’s Place, 10 Brookline...
