CARISSA JOHNSON
8:00pm | The Milestone | $7
On tunes like “Deleria” Carissa Johnson combines buzzy guitars, growling bass, galloping drums and candy-coated choruses in a careening-through-the-guard rail rush that recalls the glam rock bubblegum of Joan Jett. It’s 70s in a good way, even down to Johnson sawing her guitar with a violin bow like she’s Jimmy Page. Motel Glory and Alexa Jensen fill the bill.
