It builds to a West African-influenced polyrhythmic bedrock and bright, chiming, highlife-style guitar work. This is “Science Camp,” the de facto lead single off Some Friends Feel Like Family, the 2015 release from Santa Barbara’s Ghost Tiger. On paper, this formula seems a bit like Vampire Weekend. And in reality, that’s not far off: a fun mashup of brainy college rock, dance music and Afro- pop — a musical influence that dials back a bit on the rest of Some Friends, but can always be heard clearly in the sunny, clear and cutting tone of lead guitarist Christopher Norlinger. “Our bass player [Kevin Evans] was in a marimba ensemble and is inspired by African rhythms so that came through on some of the songs on the EP,” writes vocalist Alixandra Macmillan-Fiedel from the road. “We have many backgrounds in the group from self-taught to classically trained to jazz.” Macmillan-Fiedel is central to Ghost Tiger’s sound; her voice is moody and atmospheric with range and well-timed gusto, evoking at times Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde. Her range shows in the indie rock-meets-’50s-weeper “More Than Enough,” and in general her voice holds together what at times is a strong but stylistically scattered set of tunes. Over the course of a mere seven tracks, just when you’ve got Ghost Tiger pegged, the band quickly changes on you. Elsewhere, the polyrhythms return with “Covered in Gold,” a track that shows Ghost Tiger at their best: bristling with complex musical ideas, expressive guitar work, Macmillan-Fiedel’s luxuriant pipes and a clear and poignant vision. This is the time to catch Ghost Tiger; this will be the band’s last stop on the Some Friends Feel Like Family tour. Ghost Tiger plays with Eugene’s Pluto the Planet and Bend’s Wilderness 9:30 pm Friday, Jan. 30, at Sam Bond’s; $7. 21-plus. — William Kennedy Karaoke—9pm AXE & FIDDLE Zoe Sundra, Fera—8:30pm; Alt folk, n/c BLACK FOREST Karaoke—9pm THE BLIND PIG Karaoke w/Jim Jim—9pm THE COOLER Hump Night Trivia w/DR Dumass—7pm; n/c COWFISH Rotation Live w/ Connor Jay & Guests—9pm; Hip hop, indie dance, n/c GRANARY Mama Jan’s Blues Jam w/Brian Chevalier—8pm; n/c GREEN ROOM DJs Ghrimm & Refugium—9pm; Ghost house, darkwave, industrial, dance, n/c HAPPY HOURS Grateful Dead Wednesday—9pm; Dead con- cert vids, n/c JERSEY’S Karaoke—8pm; Ladies night, n/c LUCKEY’S KI & the Architex— 10pm; Hip hop, $2 MAC’S Gus Russell & Paul Biondi—6pm; Jazz, variety, n/c MCDONALD THEATRE Jesse Cook—8pm; Nuevo flamenco guitar, $28-$35 MOHAWK TAVERN Karaoke— 9pm; n/c MULLIGAN’S Open Mic— 8:30pm; Variety, n/c NEW MAX’S TAVERN Lonesome Randall—7pm; Rock & roll his- torian, n/c OAKSHIRE PUB Hipbilly—7pm; Bluegrass, n/c OLD PAD Trivia Night—9pm; n/c POUR HOUSE Karaoke—9pm SAM BOND’S GARAGE 10 String Symphony—9pm; $5 TAYLOR’S BAR & GRILLE DJ Crown—10:30pm; Hip hop, top 40, dance, n/c WOW HALL Las Cafeteras— 8pm; Afro-Mexican, $10 adv., $12 door CORVALLIS (AND SURROUNDING AREAS) FIREWORKS RESTAURANT MO Southtown Open Mic—9pm; n/c INTERZONE SA Free Noise Show—6:30pm; n/c LASELLS STEWART CENTER TH Corvallis-OSU Symphony— 7:30pm; $20-$32 COUPON 55 SILVER LN. 654-0603 686-9598 COUPONS GOOD UNTIL FEBRUARY 12 TH , 2015 11AM-MIDNIGHT SUN-THU 11 AM -10PM DAILY 11AM-1AM FRI-SAT SERVING DELICIOUS NEW YORK PIZZA BY THE SLICE AND BY THE WHOLE PIZZA PIE DELIVERY AVAILABLE FROM OUR CAMPUS LOCATION THROUGH HUNGRYDUCKS.COM 2.00 OFF ANY 18” LARGE $ ® FREE LARGE SODA W/ PURCHASE OF 2 SLICES COUPON COUPON COUPON SY'S NEW YORK PIZZA 1211 ALDER CLUB 100 YEARS FRI JAN 30 •10PM • $5 BLACK DELANY, DOUBLE DEUCE, WETSOCK SAT JAN 31 • 10PM • $5 SOCKEYE SAWTOOTH SUN FEB 1 • $5 BROADWAY REVUE BURLESQUE NIGHT! 933 Olive St | 541-687-4643 830 Olive St | 541-343-3204 In the heart of the Barmuda Triangle eugeneweekly.com • January 29, 2015 21
