In any given city, guitarists swarm thicker than mosquitoes in a swamp during the summertime, while drummers tend to be about as scarce as vampires in a garlic patch. What is a self-motivated songsmith with visions of sensitive rockstardom to do? Just play the damn drums. Oh, and write the songs too. While you're at it, why don't you sing the songs while you play the drums. This is no easy feat, but Michael Lerner does it remarkably well. See for yourself at The Crocodile tonight when Telekinesis takes the stage. They'll bring the cleverly emotive songs and the drumsinging skills, you bring your plastic framed glasses and eager ears. Caveman will be starting the show with drums that sound like feet shuffling in an empty silo and quiet harmonies, and The Young Evils will arrive with a stain on their overalls, a slight drawl in their boy-girl vocals and a subtle country strum.

At The Crocodile. Doors at 8pm. Tickets are $13.00 ($15.50 w/ fees).
