THE STILLS
Lincoln TheatreFormer kings of new-wave cool, Montreal rock band The Stills burst onto the indie-rock scene in early 2003 with Logic Will Break Your Heart, a stunning debut of dance-ready guitar-synth and angst-and-love lyrics. The Stills shaped their new-wave throwback stance into a pop-rock pompadour for 2006's Without Feathers, pumping their rock ballads full of lush piano and classic Hammond organ. The sexy dance party may be gone, but the tortured lovers and heartbroken boys are here, more epic than ever. Tickets are $8-$10 for a 9:30 p.m. start Kathy Justice
