Rogue Waves September: Jersey City Latin Jazz Festival, Hudson West Fest, More
Not everybody likes power pop, but White Eagle Hall (337 Newark) sure does. This year, the handsome mid-sized concert venue at the western edge of the Downtown has championed the style with inspired engagements, theme nights, and attention to post-British Invasion particulars that betray the bookers’ affection for fuzzy, overdriven, sharply written guitar-based pop-rock. They’ve turned the stage over to power pop legends like Matthew Sweet and Redd Kross, honored cornerstone albums like Big Star’s Radio City, and encouraged leaders of the next generation of genre practitioners like The Lemon Twigs. In so doing, they’ve reminded us all that power pop is especially good in concert: the singers loosen up, the songs breathe, the themes of longing and romantic abandon intensify, and the bands apply wattage and distortion to catchy melody in a manner that sears the choruses into listeners’ minds. (Also, if you don’t like power pop, what’s wrong with you?)
