He’s a man, he’s a band, he’s King Tuff. The Los Angeles-by-way-of Brattleboro, Vermont native lays down some sweet garage-pop action complete with fuzzed-out guitars, handclaps and catchy melodies on his latest self-titled album for Sub Pop. All of which should make for a perfect evening of sweaty summertime intoxication when King Tuff plays the Biltmore, July 21, 8 p.m., with guests Jaill and Nu Sensae. Tickets for the early show at Red Cat, Zulu or online at ticketweb.ca.
Former Rheostatics drummer Dave Clark brings his nine-piece “soul-filled celebration emancipation experience” the Woodshed Orchestra to the Railway Club July 23. Expect plenty of dancing as the band whips through everything from New Orleans funk, Tex-Mex, calypso, country, ska, punk, reggae, R&B, Klezmer, surf and swing. The Kingsgate Choir opens. More info at therailwayclub.com.
Fiona Apple fans are a patient bunch, not only enduring seven long years since her last record, but wordy album titles that read like short stories. The wait is finally over, as the eclectic singer-songwriter plays the Orpheum Theatre July 24 in support of her, by all accounts, stunning new album called—deep breath—The Idler Wheel is Wiser than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do. Tickets at ticketmaster.ca.
