Wild Adriatic/Take Off Charlie/The Pistolettes

Managing to sound more like an American rock orchestra at times than the trio that they are, Wild Adriatic has been carving up a fine vibe on the regional touring circuit these past few years. The band’s 2014 album, Big Suspicious, kicks around a big, big sound on 12 heavy tracks. “40 Days 40 Nights (Hard Times)” carries singer Travis Gray’s soaring vocals across tight, soulful riffs and enticing percussion. “Cooperstown” slows the tempo a bit, showcasing the band’s more atmospheric songwriting chops. Throughout the album, Gray’s guitar work gets the fuzz treatment, evoking the inspirational strains of Dan Auerbach’s early, Akron-born playing. Tonight’s show will definitely involve dancing, so come prepared. (Sandy)
