After leaving Pale Blue Dot two years ago, Tony LaRocco returns from a stint of self-discovery to front the local quartet once again. The modern pop group reveals its soul through lyrics that reflect a sense of nature, space and Buddhist precepts, and its latest EP, Telescopes, produced by Daughtry guitarist Brian Craddock, fuses creative arrangements on instrumentals with jaunty melodies and philosophical ballads. Nineties cover band Superunknown and local Highway to Rock open.
Friday 5/27. $6, 8pm. The Ante Room, 219 W. Water St. 284-8561.
