Shellac
Shellac frontman Steve Albini is one of those sharp-witted curmudgeons who's always seemed older than his years. Now he's nearly 47, and it doesn't seem odd that he still cranks out Mensa-level tough-guy rock that's as tense as a Mexican standoff. Shellac—which also includes drummer Todd Trainer and bassist Bob Weston—has wrenched out five riveting albums of immaculately analog-recorded dissonance and white-knuckled dynamics. Go for the tightly executed molten rock; stay for the barbed between-song witticisms. (Vera Project, Seattle Center, 956-8372. 7:30 pm, $13/$12 with club card, all ages.)

because they like to support that kind of thing whenever they can, Max. Even doing an all ages show at Berbati's Pan, which is a rarity.

Because I actually want to hear the band for once, not people chatting loudly and clinking glasses.

I think I still suffer from hearing loss after the firecrackers went off at the Big Black show. They killed it tonight.
