Crib Notes

The ETTES play a sultry and savage blend of winding power-pop and beat-punk strut that evokes everyone from Nancy Sinatra to Iggy and the Stooges, but with a fashionably fuzzed-out accent.

Each song from the Los Angeles-by-way-of-New York City trio’s latest full-length, Look at Life Again Soon, creates an infectious jitter that snakes through dark valleys and high-energy peaks of old-school rock ‘n’ roll antagonism that’s both sleazy and alluring.

For the show tonight (Tues., SEPT. 9,) like-minded locals the Long Shadows open the show.

$8. 9 p.m. Drunken Unicorn, 736 Ponce de Leon Place. www.thedrunkenunicorn.net.
