New Ghoulets (9:00), Late Joys (7:00), Fox Motel (5:30)

There’s a lot to unpack for this gig. Jangle popsters the Late Joys just released the five-song Big Big Sounds, which heralds their 20th anniversary. More to the point, as bandleader Robi Polgar (also a novelist and playwright – the band began as characters in his play The Road to Wigan Pier) prepares to move to Connecticut, this becomes the final Late Joys show for the foreseeable future – just a few weeks before the venerable Carousel Lounge’s 60th birthday bash. Few ATX acts put their own spin on the sound of Sixties/Seventies British guitar pop as well as the Late Joys, so it behooves fans of the tradition to see them off. —1283273
