Hot Snakes/Beehive and the Barracudas



When your hot rod's humming, there's no point banging around under the hood. So rather than gripe that Hot Snakes' second album, Suicide Invoice (Swami), sounds a lot like their first, why not sit back and enjoy the ride? The rhythm section of Gar Wood (Tanner) and Jason Kourkounis (Burning Brides, Delta 72) put the pedal to the metal; John Reis and Rick Froberg, whose snarling guitars also graced Drive Like Jehu, let you feel the rocks hitting the windshield, and Froberg goes after his one-note choruses like they owe him money. The Snakes' Saturday afternoon booking is a bit of a cruel joke, since their target audience is usually sleeping off their Tattoed Mom's hangover right about then, but if you can't drag ass out of bed before dinner, most of the band's members will reconfigure for a Khyber show as Beehive and the Barracudas, whose sloppy rock recalls the ultra-low-fi clatter of Reis' The Sultans. (Beehive also opens the TLA show.)

Hot Snakes, Sat., Aug. 17, 2 p.m., with Beehive and the Barracudas and The Lost Sounds, The TLA, 314 South St., 215-336-2000; Beehive and the Barracudas, Sat., Aug. 17, 10 p.m., with Sugar Skulls, the Lost Sounds and Rabble Rousers, The Khyber, 56 S. Second St., 215-238-5888.
