Ye olde indie-rock is in capable hands with Portland quintet Eyelids. Featuring current and former members of groups such as Guided by Voices, Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, and Decemberists, Eyelids channel insouciant power-pop melodiousness to create rock thrills that are no less enjoyable for seeming so familiar. Subtly tweaking classic songwriting formulas is a storied musical tradition, and these vets excel at it. You might say that Eyelids are the Pacific Northwest’s Teenage Fanclub—and their members probably wouldn't even punch you for doing so. Openers Jonathan Segel and Victor Krummenacher also play in Camper Van Beethoven, so get there early.
