Tuesday To-Do: Yellowcard



YELLOWCARD
9 p.m. Juanita's. $18 adv./$20 d.o.s.

Yellowcard has the double distinction of coming from the two sunniest, if most sinister, pop factories in the world — Florida, home to the Disney compound, and sunny Southern California, where Hollywood dreams go to rest. Give the rock quintet a bit more credit than that, if for nothing else than using a violin on a double platinum album that didn't sound anything like Dave Matthews. Also give them credit for their relentless touring schedule, hit singles, five albums, and emotive, soaring choruses that score the dreams of teen girls across our nation. The kids, they're all right.
