The strong, square lines of its chairs and tables--solid enough to withstand a barroom brawl or a swashbuckler's fight--echo Branzino and Cafe Juanita, while the Byronic chandeliers are reminiscent of Barolo and Via Tribunali and the lace curtains on its windows must have come from the same nonna who tatted them for Spinasse in Capitol Hill.

Rooney, Wednesday, December 2:Rooney is like the anti-Interpol. With their shiny and ebullient take on sunny American rock of the aE˜70s and early aE˜80s, and their shaggy, post-hippy rocker looks, they stand as a mirror image of InterpolaE™s noirish, British post-punk inflected sound and sleek, sharply dressed public face. Taken in that context, the band helps with hindsight exploration of one of the most hotly contested stretches in musical history, fiercely advocating for the lush and heavily produced pop that in part influenced the rise of the punk and eventually post-punk groups so inspirational to Interpol and its ilk. Whether or not you appreciate what Rooney does, take a minute to think about what Rooney means. These days, both the excessive, popped up and glossy sound of 1970s American airwaves, and the reactionary simplicity and edginess it inspired in the punk and post-punk movement exist side by side in the iPods, minds and hearts of the children (both literal and metaphorical) of those musical moments. Everything thataE™s uncool will one day be cool. ItaE™s only a matter of time before something comes along to Rip it up and Start Again, but itaE™s all gonna come back around someday. With Tally Hall, Crash Kings. El Corazon, 109 Eastlake Ave. E. 381-3094. 7 p.m. $13 adv./$15 DOS. All ages. Note by NICHOLAS HALL

Jaguar Love, Wednesday, November 25:Wrought from the ashes of the Blood Brothers by Cody Votolato and Johnny Whitney, Jaguar Love first employed ex-Pretty Girls Make Graves guitarist Jay Clark as well. The Portland outfit has since scaled back to a two-man core, and in the wake of last yearaE™s self-titled EP and album Take Me To The Sea on Matador, signed to Fat Possum. In advance of next yearaE™s John Goodmanson-helmed second album aE“ titled Hologram Jams, according to GoodmansonaE™s site aE“ the band is giving away the track aEœUp All NightaE at takebacktheradworld.com. ItaE™s a real corker, all throbbing dance beat, flitting synths, and bratty refrain. ItaE™s also a sort of throwback to the FaintaE™s glory days, breaking down New Wave and rebuilding it with left-field aplomb. Make no mistake aE“ WhitneyaE™s gender-bending, high-wire vocals will make many listeners bristle aE“ but Jaguar Love knows how to have fun without dumbing things down.A Sole Repair, 1001 East Pike St., 979-7. 8 p.m. Note by DOUG WALLEN
