Roanoke rock trio Eternal Summers (left) joins Raleigh-based The Love Language, offering two distinct takes on pop-rock. While the Summers inject graceful melancholy with nervous energy and infectious ebullience, Love Language swings and swoons, embodying tipsy romanticism. It’s a fun evening of fine tunes, whether for waltzing or pogo-ing. Eternal Summers is also hosting a pledge drive to fund its forthcoming album. The premiums include personalized tour postcards and mix tapes, and you can cut Daniel’s hair (for $2,000). Local polymath John “Mingsley” Lindsey opens with The Mingsleys.
Saturday 8/3 $8, 9pm. Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar, 414 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 293-9947.
