April 24-30, 2003 musicpicks Mary PranksterPut out your best album, then break up. Quit while you"re ahead. It"s a romantic notion, but probably not what Mary Prankster"s bandmates were thinking when they kicked her out of their communal home and refused to tour behind her third album, Tell Your Friends (Palace Coup). Some custody cases are easier to decide than others, and since it"s the Baltimore singer/guitarist"s name on the line, she"s hit the road on her own. That could hurt Friends" poptastic ³None for Me² and ³La Resistance² and rockin" old favorites like ³Punk Rock Heaven² and ³The World Is Full of Bastards,² but anything that makes it easier to hear Prankster"s deft wordplay and the wink in her voice can"t be all bad. And with some decent slow songs to choose from -- the inside-out torch of ³Irresponsible Woman² comes to mind -- she could be well served by the solo route. But go ahead and pick up Tell Your Friends at the show; it"s not like her old bassist and drummer are gonna do better than this. Sun., April 27, 7:30 p.m., $5, with Aquaport and Preacher Curls, The Point, 880 W. Lancaster Ave., Bryn Mawr, 610-527-0988.
