Saturday To-Do: Emery
EMERY
7 p.m., the Village. $15 adv., $20 d.o.s.
With neckties, sweater vests and library outfits from the 1970s, Emery's appearance sure doesn't match its post-hardcore sound, full of screams and breakdowns, catchy hooks and melodies. Steering clear from being labeled a Christian band, although all members are open about their faith, Emery attempts with its latest album, “… In Shallow Seas We Sail,” to continue mixing themes of spiritual missions with those of inner turmoil in relationships (yawn). This Seattle crew, originally from South Carolina, comes to town with Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, Kiros and Secret and Whisper on the “Thee Summer Bailout Tour.”
