Singer\/guitarist Mike Visser has never sounded more focused than he\u2019s sounding these days on the band\u2019s recurring melodies; such new songs as \u201cRedefine\u201d and \u201cNo Valid Lie\u201d could easily be mistaken for lost Jeff Buckley outtakes, circa\u00a0<em>Grace<\/em>. Drummer Devin Hurley and bassist Matt Ontjes make for an odd pairing, too, with Hurley\u2019s open shuffling beats and Ontjes\u2019 minimalist lead bass lines. Frank Jordan\u2019s ability to fuse dischordant emo stylings with traditional rock sounds should translate into a fine evening of music. Opening the show is the ever-popular ENT, which may or may not have been named for J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s talking trees. Capitol Garage is located at 1427 L St.; doors open at 8 p.m. The cover charge is rumored to be $5.
