9 pm,
Generationals and The Mercers at Stubb's Jr.
Chalk it up to bad timing, underexposure, or the existence of Rilo Kiley, but the sticky-sweet indie-pop of The Eames Era went mostly unheralded over the band’s three-year tenure. Following its break-up, guitarists Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer dusted themselves and their record collections off and formed the similarly hooky Generationals. The band’s debut, Con Law, is a wildly eclectic affair—the skeletal electro-funk of “Bobby Beale” and the Britpop sneer of “Nobody Could Change Your Mind" are sure to surprise ears pricked by the breezy retro-soul of “When They Fight, They Fight”—united by the duo’s pop sense and feet inching toward the dance floor, which should help them avoid The Eames Era’s ignoble fate.
