Eight Gigs: Dustin Lovelis
Thu., Jan. 26, 8 p.m., Press Club, $8
In an interview with PopMatters, Dustin Lovelis said his song “Idiot” is about how he’s “resistant to change.” Yet, the whole reason he ever wrote a solo album was that he got tired of the monotony of touring with his band The Fling. His debut album is an amalgam of all his ’60s rock influences (think the Beatles and the Beach Boys) but reassembled with the precision of an art restorer who’s had a bit much to drink. His fans will enjoy the nonstop references, as well as his harmonious yet trashy sensibility. 2030 P Street, www.facebook.com/dustinlovelis.
