The In: Music and event picks July 22-July 29

Welcome to the first week of “The In”, which will feature my Wed-Tues music and event picks of the week or where I’d be if I could clone myself.

 Including: my write ups from The Mercury, where I just came on board this week! xoxo Jeni

Wed:
The Liquor Store – Salon, The Century, Mothertapes, 9 pm
“Meeting over craigslist in 2007, multi-instrumentalist Pete Bosack and drummer Tommy Franzen found an easy collaboration, launching as three piece pop rock outfit Wax Fingers. After their breakup, the two streamlined their sound, re-emerging as Mothertapes in 2013. Combining well stewed math rock with new wave power pop, their live show likens to watching chemists deftly create sensorial explosions. Mothertapes recently signed on to DIY label collective Self Group, with a full length expected late summer. Pop rock favorites The Century and fellow math rock newcomers Salon round out what is bound to be a night of energetic posi-power pop.” -Jeni Wren Stottrup The Mercury
