Weekenders Mashing up elements of “Sweater Song”-era Weezer, MC5 jams and insert retro garage rock favorites here, this Charlotte trio doesn’t fuck around with needless subtleties or nuance. Their 2010 release, the seven-song teaser I Want You (Kinnikinnik Records), was a catchy and promising 18-minute tour through the band’s influences. This gig is a fundraiser for the August Recess Fest (Google the RF blogspot and luxuriate in the killer lineup), but stands on its own as a fine Friday night out. With Luz, the Have and the Have Nots, and Veda Woolf. Snug Harbor. www.snugrock.com.
