PLAN A: Nudity @ Radio Room. Naming your all-male band Nudity is a bold move. These head-expanding Northwestern rockers go heavy on the riffs and, hopefully, light on the dong exposure. PLAN B: Von Iva, Roxy Jones @ Bar Pink. Though stripped down to only keyboards, drums and vocals, Von Iva still retains its soul in the voice of Jillian Iva, whose raw delivery overcomes the group’s newfound glossiness. -Todd Kroviak

Nudity should be a great one even without the pre-show doobage. I just received Von Iva’s new EP in the mail and it’s definitely a non-stop-jump-around-your-room-semi-nude kinda party. Not that I did that or anything… Roxy Jones is a great local band, but they play Pavement-influenced indie rock that isn’t exactly going to warm up the crowd. But whatever, they’re still good.
