The Village Idiot / Sunday, July 15
If you think high-energy rock n’ roll is dead, only remembered through worn down leathery relics who were once defined as gods, look no further than Bright Light Social Hour. The boys from Texas have that big, made-for-an-arena sound fueled by blues-rooted guitars, psychedelic keys and a funky bass. And they’re certainly not scared to throw a few self-indulgent guitar — sometimes keytar — solos in your face. Which is the way it should be. If I’m going to a rock show, I want excess. Isn’t that the point? $15. 10pm. The Village Idiot, 309 Conant St., Maumee. 419-893-7281. www.villageidiotmaumee.com
