THE CONNECT FIVE: Shows to see this week in Savannah
Fans of the Black Keys and the White Stripes will have little choice but to love Safety Coffin (pictured). The Asheville, North Carolina duo have many similarities to the two bass-free darlings of the rock press. Stripped down to drums and guitar, with occasional harmonica and deeply soulful vocals, the blues rock simmers until it boils and is taken off the heat until the next one. The formula works well, and despite it, the songs are anything but repetitive. There’s simply too much talent and emotion to bog it down. Local almost-superstars Local Superstars offer an easy, breezy alt-country vibe with a bit of twangy dream pop and a highly agreeable flow. Fellow Savannah band Calico MD, now solidly back from their hiatus, bend Sebadoh angst with that Pixies “loud-quiet-loud” method that works so well with indie rock bands that want to explore a variety of sounds and melodies. On that front, Calico MD leader Kevin Block is like Magellan, always looking to discover something new and share it with the people.
