[balances] the tightrope between indie and mainstream rock.” The resulting sound mixes feminine vocals with a harder guitar-indie edge reminiscent of classic Veruca Salt. The album is out now and can be ordered via their MySpace page. 8pm, $10.

The Federalists use good old-fashioned indie as a base, add effected guitar and elements of country, and spice it up even more with multi-part melodies and harmonies. Songs like “City Girl” and “Tree Song” have a laid back, mainstream feel, while songs like “Impossible” push the boundaries by pulling rhythms and instrumentation from old doo-wop tunes. These three songs can be heard on the band’s MySpace page, and the album will be out on Tuesday. 9pm, $10, all ages.
