The Jonas Brothers
I realize at almost 38 I’m not the target demographic for this group of adolescent “rock stars,” but I know prefab crap when I hear it. This is a crass, corporate-driven illusion marketed to impressionable guys and girls in heat. Still, parents will doubtlessly be lining up for tickets so their children can see the next Bonaduces pretend to be The Strokes (by wearing vests and ties). Wed., 7 pm, Johnny Mercer Theater.
Lurid Miscreants
Tybee-based metal trio featuring “The Ragman” on guitar. Thurs., 9 pm, The Britannia (Wilmington Isl.).

Super Vinyl
The last area show till Fall from this local cover band specializing in rarely-played classic rock nuggets by the likes of Hendrix, STP, Neil Young and Cream. Fri., 9 pm, Jukebox Bar & Grill (Richmond Hill).
Voodoo Soup
Terrific, funky, acid-rock and soul cover act that turns the idea of improv on it’s ear. Wed. & Tues., 9 pm, Fiddler’s Crab House (River St.) + Sun., 10 pm, Mercury Lounge.
