Evan & Jaron

ROCK/FOLK

The Olsens aren't the only twins in show biz, and these two are actually prettier. Now outta the majors and taking their own indie route to quasi-fame, the emo-edged, Atlanta-bred Lowenstein bros are back with Half Dozen (Twelve Between Us), which features — true to its name — six new songs (along with three previously released numbers). The record is actually half of the last unreleased album Evan & Jaron made for Columbia and — in an attempt to woo back fans who've wondered where they've been the past few years — is being offered for only $6 on the boys' Web site. (The other half-dozen tracks from the Columbia sessions will be released later this year; same deal, six bucks). While best known for the teen-feverish top-10 hit, "Crazy for This Girl," the emo-edged Evan & Jaron's newer material has a decidedly twangy-jangly sound, even on the radio-friendly single "What She Likes." And with those heavenly harmonies, they even sound as good as they look.

Thu., July 1, 8 p.m., $14, with Kate Klim, The Point, 880 W. Lancaster Ave., Bryn Mawr, 866-468-7619.
