Parquet Courts
With Goat Girl.
Majestic Theatre 115 King St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
The New York City post-punk band, once peppered with hints of western country and noise rock, is changing up their approach yet again on their latest album, Wide Awake. The title track adds in funk grooves and an infectious pop-chorus, elevating a self-aware goofiness the band used to keep in check, as they did on their more serious breakthrough album, Light Up Gold. With London-based punks (and Rough Trade Records labelmates) Goat Girl.
$18 ($15 adv.).
