Local act Tight Pants Syndrome might have the cleanest pop this side of 1966. Armed with shoo-wop vocals and more hooks than a tackle box, the band is equally deft at driving indie power pop and the beachy bubblegum material that so clearly inspires the band’s members. The boy-girl vocals are at best silly and at worst inane, but damn it if TPS won’t convince the whole crowd to sing along to songs like “Your Buzz Is Safe With Me.” Their catalog is something more than catchy, particularly the cuts off their new record “Fully Attractive,” released just a month ago. On this album, TPS sounds like an approximation of The Donnas covering The Beach Boys after listening to Neko Case all day. So head over to the Schlafly Tap Room, support your local brewers (with a pumpkin ale, perhaps?) and check out some hometown musicians so that in a few years, you can say that you saw them before they made it big. Plus, with the low, low cover of nothing, you can’t argue with the price.
