Monday, Oct. 30

You know him as the son of Albert "It Never Rains in California" Hammond. No, you don't. Not if you're in your 20s. You know Albert Hammond, Jr. as a guitarist for the still-hip Strokes. Hammond has a solo album coming out as an import out Oct. 9, "Yours To Keep," and he's on a small club tour to promote this disc and - who knows?- launch a solo career. Well, we doubt that, really, not with the Strokes doing what they're doing. He's just behaving in the time-honored John Entwistle - I gotta do my own thing, man! - sideman role. He and a band are at T.T. the Bear's Monday, Oct. 30. Show at 10:30. Tickets: $10. Hear what he sounds like on myspace.com/Alberthammondjr
