Tonight a band called Aloft in the Sundry is playing the High Dive, and to judge from their publicity stills--which I can only assume are a wholly accurate representation of their lives--these dudes got it rough.

I totally feel these guys' pain. It's like, whenever I go into a...what is that? A tanning salon? A strip club? Yeah, whenever I go into a strip club, next thing I know the scantily clad women are tearin' off my clothes and shoving twenties down my g-string. It's just the price we pay for being so dead sexy.

But no, I kid. Seriously, Aloft in the Sundry is a band from Colorado that has a crazy sound: piano meets Seventies-style rock riffs that lean towards the bluesy, replete with catchy hooks and good vocals, even if they trend a little too yearn-y for my taste. They're playing with Seattle's Audio Art, who also tickle the ivories (or whatever keyboard keys are made of), and the super-chill Your Invisible Hands, who mix-up singer-songwriter stuff with lush psychedelic guitars. It's $6 at the door, 8 p.m., 513 N. 36th St. in Fremont, and it's 21 and over.
