- Adam's Attic CD-release party
- 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 4
- The Parish at House of Blues , 225 Decatur St., 529-BLUE
Straight-up pop rock bands are few and far between in New Orleans, but Adam's Attic wears the shoe with no sign of influence from traditional local music. Three-chord songs with simple lyrics and plenty of guitar hooks are what they're all about. There is no one named Adam in the band; guitarist/lead vocalist John Henry recruited his brother Derek and their childhood friend Scott Boaz in 1999 and formed Adam's Attic as an outlet for some songs inspired by a messy breakup with his girlfriend. Before long, the trio committed Henry's compositions to record and released the debut CD, Who's Laughing Now. Since then, the band has played frequent live gigs in the region while recording a second, self-titled album. Produced by former Deadeye Dick frontman Caleb Guillote, the new album is a collection of neatly packaged, radio-ready originals. Adam's Attic continues to hone their energetic live show. Admission $6. -- Diettinger
