“Jesus Christ of the City,” the first single from local quartet Lightninging‘s upcoming LP The God of Sun & Tuesdays is a song that intoxicatingly embraces. As the guitar sets a wandering path, Greg O’Neill’s vocals offer an insiders eye-in-the-sky perspective. Then, the walls inside the room begin to shake as the vocals reach back and the instrumentation truly gear up and reach out screaming in unison and demonstrating internal strength and emotion while flexing in a controlled torrent of sound. Comprised of O’Neill, Mark Cruttenden (whom both perform in Baroque-pop outfit Tutlie) and the backend combo of Matt Williams and Greg Foran (who also team up in Static Mountain), the group’s heavy melodic brand of psychedelic rock makes their resurgence a welcomed return. Tonight’s Boot & Saddle lineup also features the heart-pounding four-piece of A Brood of Vipers and the grease-slicked, stick-to-your-skin bluesy trio of Reverend Mantis. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
