Sun. July 22

 Two-Cow Garage. I typed it in wrong (Two-Car) when I first tried. And what is this five-year old trio - which plays at Great Scott Sunday July 22 - about? Well, they've made "Enter III," their darkest record to date, which means - maybe? - their dreams of rock 'n' roll stardom have caught up with them. Says guitarist-singer Micah Schnabel: "There's a guitar, that's leaning on my wall, the instrument of my ultimate downfall." (Old rock star reference point: Mott the Hoople's "All the Way From Memphis" and Ian Hunter's "instrument of shame - ha ha!") "And notebooks scattered all over my floor. Six hundred pages all filled with regrets, and hundreds of songs that ain't finished yet.  And a job application getting harder to ignore." Bassist Shane Sweeny talks about when he "questioned whether or not I wanted to be in Two Cow anymore.  I was very angry. I really just wanted to explode but at the same time I was so incredibly disappointed. I wanted to hide away." You can hear all this angst poor out in concert Sunday. Now, we've saved, maybe, the best for last. The headliner on this bill is Lenny Lashley & Friends, and you might know Lenny from the punk-drunk band of joy that is Darkbuster. His friends? Who knows? Probably has lots of 'em, though, and some can probably sing or play instruments. Drag the River is in the middle of the bill. Two Car - no, that's Cow, dammit - Garage kicks off the $9 show at 9 p.m.
