Watching NighTraiN open for Absolute Monarchs at the Comet a few months ago will undoubtedly go down as one of the most moving musical moments I had in 2011. And by moving, I mean exhilarating to the point where I thought I might pass out from sheer joy. Their caustic, engaging brand of soulful punk was still finding its footing, but the energy was off the charts in a way that bodes exceedingly well for the future. At the risk of sounding like Im ghettoizing them, our lillywhite, pastoral pop-loving city can only benefit from a black, all-female rock band with as much potential as these women are wielding. Bring it, ladies. With Connerys, Atomic Bride, The Apollos. HANNAH LEVIN
