Eight Gigs: Honyock and Mondo Deco
Fri., April 22, 8 p.m., Old Ironsides, $7
It’s seems all but impossible to be a rock band nowadays and not harken back to the ’60s and/or ’70s. Locals Mondo Deco are steeped in ’70s glam rock and power pop, while Honyock play a roots rock ’n’ roll hybrid that brings to mind Tom Petty and the Band. Both of these bands bring newer elements to their music, but they decided to show off their love for the glory days of rock with a split-cassette release. They’ve recorded the tracks on an analog tape deck in a garage. The hiss and pops are deliberate, and to be enjoyed in all their nostalgic glory. 1901 10th Street, http://mondodecomusic.com, www.facebook.com/Honyockband.
