[Thursday, October 30] With all apologies to Velvet Revolver and, uh, Damn Yankees, hereaE™s a rock supergroup you can really get excited about. Magnetic Morning includes singer-guitarist Adam Franklin (Swervedriver), drummer Sam Fogarino (Interpol), and multi-instrumentalist Jimmy LaValle (The Album Leaf, Tristeza). At times, Magnetic Morning unleashes the blurry, cinemascopic guitar fury of Swervedriver, but thereaE™s just as much reliance on bright, psych-poppy melodies and delicate atmospherics. With Drew Andrews, Black Nite Crash. Chop Suey, 1325 E. Madison St., 324-8000. 8 p.m., $10. Listen to At A Crossroads, Passive.

Hank IV, Friday, February 6, Funhouse: Hank IV are five old farts from aE™Frisco who worship uranium-soaked scuzz punk and vintage retard rock. If youaE™re the type of smelly goon who gets all hard for Ron House, Hickey, Sockeye and Gaunt, these are the bastards for you. In October, Siltbreeze Records released the HanksaE™ second album, the bitching Refuge in Genre. It proves you can be a party hard degenerate and still play super-tight, super-catchy rock and roll with efficiency and skill. The bandaE™s pedigree, by the way, is aces. Howler Bob McDonald served time in DenveraE™s Bum Kon; they once recorded a single titled Drunken Sex Sucks. Guitarist Anthony Bedard, meanwhile, used to molest the drums in the legendary Icky Boyfriends. Track down the tune aEœVicious DickaE when you get a chance -- itaE™s fun. With AFCGT, Unnatural Helpers, the Lights. Funhouse, 206 Fifth Ave. N., 374-8400. 9:30 p.m., $7. Note by JUSTIN F. FARRAR MP3: Got Got

Horse Feathers, Wednesday, February 11: True, Portland-based Horse Feathers may take its name from a Marx Brothers movie, but there is nothing funny about this band. At times, the soft, lyrical music of Justin Ringle and friends comes off as downright melancholy. Songs like aEœCurs in the Weeds,aE the opening track on last yearaE™s House With No Home, are heartbreakingly beautiful. RingleaE™s near-falsetto pairs with Peter BroderickaE™s violin crescendos and Heather BroderickaE™s cello to create simultaneous feelings of calm and sadness. At the same time, there is something oddly warm about the easy, gentle melodies of aEœFinch on Saturday,aE where Ringle sings about God and love with his heart wide open. Horse FeathersaE™ music is inviting, as if Ringle is willing to share his innermost lyrical feelings with the rest of the world. And thereaE™s nothing wrong with that: This is the sort of quiet folk that shouldnaE™t be confined to a stereo. With Mighty Tiger, Ah Holly FamaE™ly. Sunset Tavern, 5433 Ballard Ave. N.W., 784-4880. 9 p.m. $10. Note by PAIGE RICHMOND
