Fri. June 15 We all know that Little Steven aka Miami Steve van Zandt has a little time on his hand, being that Sil, his character on "The Sopranos," was badly shot (and maybe dead) and the show itselfi is, uh, over. Ambiguously so. We're among those who pre dicted there would be no major wrap-up, after getting to know creator David Chase's work over the years, and thus, while semi-shocked by the black screen, we were stunned and angered. Which has nothing to do with Van Zandt's Little Steven self - the guitar-playing garage rock loving musician and radio host. Steven's been in the forefront of the latest garage rock revival and he's a champion of the Woggles and their Wicked Cool Records debut, "Rock and Roll Backlash." He calls it "live wild-ass garage punk rhythm and blues." Meredith Ochs, on NPR, says a Woggles show "will change your life." Hmmmm. Dunno about that, but it seems the four Woggles are not bound to the stage and like to hurl themselves about the club and into the audience in pursuit of their art. You can catch them at T.T. the Bear's Place Friday June 15. They're with Muck & the Mires, the Classic Ruins and Midnight Creeps. Strong bill. Starts at 9 p.m. with a $10 ticket. 10 Brookline St., Cambridge, 617-492-0082 ttthebears.com
