The Noise Tour Powered by Journeys featuring Marianas Trench/Air Dubai/The Good Natured/Projector

Dispatches from Marianas Trench’s current Noise Tour include sightings of larger-than-life princesses, demented queens and, with a slight nod to the cover of the band’s recent album, animate toys roaming the stage. Imagine frontman Josh Ramsay bursting forth from an massive jack-in-the-box, in terms of over-the-top stage presence. You can expect all that and more - including emotional, theatrical rock - at tonight’s local incarnation of the Noise Tour (which also features Air Dubai, Ghost Town and DJ Protector). As a point of either caution or excitement, Marianas Trench’s music and on-stage shenanigans are geared mostly toward the sugary teen crowd. Prior to the show, spin Ever After a few times on the ol’ Motorola; you’ll want to be well-prepared for the inevitable sing-along moments. (Eric Sandy)
