Dec. 11
A former utility infielder for MyNameIsJohnMichael and current energetic concierge for Empress Hotel, multi-instrumentalist Leo DeJesus displays a deft songwriting touch with Vox and the Hound, a City Life sequel formed in February. Hermosa, the quintet's debut EP, is a five-song merry-go-round spinning rootsy guitars, grinning synths and drum-lipped rhythms through mood-swinging pop paces. Dark Water Hymnal opens. Admission $5. 10 p.m. Saturday. Circle Bar, 1032 St. Charles Ave., 588-2616
