On their debut full-length, today’s fore(skin?)most electro-filth trio rhapsodizes about sexual exploits with the sing-song irreverence of The B-52’s and the subtlety of Peaches. Like Weird Al gone parental advisory, then multiplied 69-fold. –Julie Seabaugh
January 26, 10 p.m., $5. Beauty Bar, 598-1965.

Why do so many generic U.K. bands get signed to major labels (in this case, Interscope) while hordes of interesting—and in many cases more saleable—American acts languish independently? Why is the sky blue? The London quartet’s gussied-up garage rock apes ELO, Queen and The Hives, all badly, mixing in heady lyrics like “I’d really like to see ya/I wouldn’t wanna be ya” for good measure. –Spencer Patterson
Opening for The Bravery. January 31, 8 p.m., $15-$17. House of Blues, 632-7600.
