School of Rock Presents the Beatles

Over the last 40-plus years, musicians of myriad stripes have been interpreting the Beatles’ bounteous, beautiful catalog, obviously with varying results. The Fab Four wrote some of the most sophisticated and catchy pop ever, songs you can hear hundreds of times without exhausting their pleasures. Therefore, it should be a blast to witness the precocious youths in Seattle’s School of Rock tackle these lovable tunes with adorable enthusiasm and surprisingly deft musicianship. Hope they do “Tomorrow Never Knows.” (Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave, thecrocodile.com, 5 pm, $10 adv, all ages)

What would be great is to do a reality show where several established bands are given the same set-up as the Beatles had to record Revolver: completely analog, 4-track, no synthesizers, etc, and see what they come up with.

Speaking of rock, Hitless Wonder (2012) is a facinating chronicle of a never-famous (nationally) band.

Over the years we've noticed that New York bands-even the ones that don't pull karaoke singers from the crowd-are disproportionately shticky and ironic, often dressing in tennis outfits or matching Speedos or like Victorian strippers. My theory is that irony insulates these bands against failure. They want to be famous, but just in case it never happens, they can always take off their costumes, fall back on their Wesleyan diplomas, and say, we were just kidding.
