It would be easy for me to sing the praises of Lion Versus. After all, the local alt-folk outfit crafts something so bewitchingly human, so insanely poetic, so tragically sweet, and so happily depraved that it’s like you’re walking on the raw, dusty, debauched roads of Deadwood‘s Old West. But, it’s better if you see them live tonight at Johnny Brenda’s, where they’ll open for Boston’s David Wax Museum. To know it is to feel it, y’all. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave, 9pm, $12, 21+ – Annamarya Scaccia
