THURSDAY, JUNE 19 STICKY LIPS BBQ JUKE JOINT, 830 JEFFERSON ROAD, HENRIETTA 9 P.M. | NO COVER | 292-5544; STICKYLIPSBBQ.COM; THEMODERNELECTRIC.COM [ POP ] If you’re looking for something a little different before diving into the Jazz Festival, you might want to check out pop band The Modern Electric at Sticky Lips. The Cleveland-based quartet creates ambitious, hook-driven pop music slightly reminiscent of bands like Spoon but with a piano-guitar balance. Lead singer Garrett Komyati is a fine vocalist that delivers his lyrics in a mix of poise and passion. The songwriting starts with Komyati, but his band takes the skeletons and turns them into full-bodied songs worthy of speaking straight to your heart. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR
Hook Face SATURDAY, JUNE 21 MONTY’S KROWN, 875 MONROE AVENUE 10 P.M. | $3 | 271-7050 [ ROCK ] “… With the snide savvy of Jim Carroll and
psycho-sexual swagger of The Cramps lost in the Delta, Hook Face’s eponymous debut dishes out some beautifully dark, dangerous rock ‘n’ roll with a noir-ish splendor.” I couldn’t have said it better myself … except I already did when this band’s incredible self-titled disc came across my desk. It shames me to admit, I have yet to catch the band live. That will change soon, or I’ll have to start parting my hair and turn in my cool kid badge. — BY FRANK DE BLASE
