GOOD LOOKS
THURSDAY 7/25. White Water Tavern. 8 p.m. $12-$15.
Mixing rollicking bar rock with jangly splashes of guitar sustain, Austin indie rock quartet Good Looks is going to fit right in at the White Water Tavern, but don’t let the good-natured jams fool you. Underneath the amiable sound of their new record, “Lived Here For a While,” are searching observations about wealth disguised as community (“Nice front yard garden / But I beg your pardon / Who needs free produce? / When your whole street, shops at Whole Foods”), broken familial relationships (“Just know I miss you all the time / But I refuse to be unseen / Should it grow too hard at night / Well, I’ll walk with you in your dreams”), and the ambivalence of wishing a past lover well while still holding fast to bitterness (“I hope you find true love, and money, many orgasms, and fame / And if you’re somehow still unhappy find somebody else to blame”). Adam Faucett is set to open. Get tickets here.
