Steve Goldberg and The Arch Enemies are coming to the North Star Bar tonight. Goldberg and Co. are pop through and through, but think a lot less GaGa and a lot more brothers Wilson or The Zombies. Goldberg skillfully orchestrates lush pop numbers including full string and horns, like on the modernized Medieval folk tune “The Garden of Forking Paths”. The delivery is straightforward with very little effects being utilized, but the songs sound full realized and bursting with sound. The song “Julia” has a timelessness to it that makes everything from the lovesick lyrics to the harpsichord intro sound familiar even on the first listen. Goldberg has a deep and intricate knowledge of popular music and uses that knowledge to create a pop Frankenstein with a heart of gold. Goldberg is joined by the slick indie sounds of The JeanMarie, who make bouncing pop-rock fronted by Rob Thomas (not really.) Filling out the bill is folky songstress Dani Mari. North Star Bar, 2639 Poplar St., 8pm, $8, 21+ – Adam G.
