Ultimate Fakebook



Rock/Pop

If This Will Be Laughing Week was Kansas trio Ultimate Fakebook's In Color (as far as Cheap Trick references go), then U-Book's soon-due Open Up and Say Awesome (Initial) is its Dream Police -- a chirpy-but-mature, clap-happy power-pop metal attack with oozing slow moments, cascading Beatle-pop and (implied) rich orchestral flourish at its command. You don't need strings when you're flinging this sort of finicky, freaky pop around. While "The Scheme to Listen No More" and "Goddamn Dance Craze" arch their backs with the same sort of lyrically smirking, silly serendipity Weezer seems hell bent on basing a career on, these moments spell musical diversity and an emotional groundswell for the Fakes. Anyone who calls 'em Eve6 or emo after this, isn't listening hard enough.

Sat., May 18, 2 p.m., $10, with Duvall and Breaking Pangea, TLA, 334 South St., 215-336-2000, www.electricfactory.com.
