TWEENS
GRINGO STAR
CIGARETTE
$12 Backstage / Doors at 8:00
Bridget Battle's last band might have been a high school choir, but the trash-pop trio that she fronts now is anything but well-behaved. Bratty and precocious, sincere and genuine, juxtaposing lyrics about bad boyfriends with lyrics about independence, Tweens are definitely not goody-two-shoes. What they are is melodic, catchy, and ferociously honest.
