Shonen Knife + Hard Nips + Grooms

Shonen Knife, the beloved Japanese duo who made waves here in the alt-rock era, is back with Free Time, a typically peppy collection of guitar-pop songs. Included in tonight's lineup is Hard Nips, whose garish name conceals eccentric yet endearing new-wave pop, and Grooms, who churns out tense, noisy art punk in a Sonic Youth vein.
