MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA
8:30 p.m., Juanita’s. $12 adv., $15 d.o.s.

Manchester Orchestra worships at the temple of ’90s alt-rock. The
loud/soft dynamics of the Pixies and Weezer. The swirling guitars and
grunge-filtered pop of Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins. The
pissed-off brattiness of Isaac Brock and Perry Farrell. All shines
through in the Atlanta five-piece’s 2009 album, “Mean Everything to
Nothing.” Recorded with indie-heavyweight producer Joe Chiccarelli (The
Shins, The Raconteurs, My Morning Jacket), the album finds the band
inching ever closer to the sort of major commercial success their
forebears enjoyed. Hard touring never hurt. The band returns to Little
Rock just a little more than four months after supporting the Silversun
Pickups at Revolution. Look for a big crowd. Little Rock indie
collective Bear Colony and Nashville pop-rockers Harrison Hudson open.
