...together the melodic skeleton of a song, while Williams works on the beats and lyrics with the artist.) "I'll put it to you this way: if we were a rock band--like Van Halen--I'd be Eddie Van Halen, the guy who just gets transported by practicing guitar riffs and learning techniques...
DEERHOOF. This R&B influenced garage rock group uses almost randomly placed, staggered guitar lines to create a sense of chaos that is brought back into order only by the smooth, Bjork-esque vocal stylings of Satomi Matsuzaki. Assaulting eardrums since 1994, the experienced quartet promises a show that lives up to the name of its latest single, “Holy Night Fever.” Isle of Citadel and Fat Worm of Error also perform. Wednesday, August 20, 9 p.m. $9. Upstairs at The Middle East, 472 Mass...

AERIAL LOVE FEED. With bursts of powerful, punky guitar riffs and electronic loops, this Brooklyn quintet’s sound borders on trip-hop. Vocalist Wade Settle’s broadcast style washes over the rest of the band to create the engulfing waves that other live performers lack. The show opens with Laguardia, The Cignal and December Sound. Friday, August 15 at 9 p.m. $9. Upstairs at The Middle East Club, 472 Mass...
