Hot Summer Nights w/ TV's Daniel, Queen Serene, Borzoi, Prehuman

It’s hard to tell whether or not Daniel Fried is doing a bit. The singer fronts TV’s Daniel with the rock & roll bravado of a prep school graduate, wearing three-piece suits and chatting in between songs about sold-out shows at the Moody Center (no way, right?) before launching his band into an updated take on classic rock theatrics. Before this free show’s irreverent midnight headline, Prehuman plays shoegaze songs from last week’s debut 7-inch, noise rock veterans Borzoi pummel sonic fury, and Sarah Ronan and Matt Galceran trade vocals in Queen Serene, a post-punk quartet both minimalist and murky. – Carys Anderson
