Static

Etc.... ZZ Top tested their live legs with shows last week at Mary Jane's and the Urban Art Bar. Word has it the trio's rusty performances of classics such as "Tush" and "Cheap Sunglasses" is nothing that can't be cured by six months on the road in support of its upcoming release, rumored to be one of the Top's most stripped-down and gimmick-free effort in awhile. Coming to town this week and worth the expense: lounge lizard menaces Girls Against Boys at Deep Phat, hard-core anti-legends D.O.A. and NoMeansNo at Fitzgerald's and off-kilter, proto-punk experimentalists Primus at the International Ballroom, all Thursday; the multifaceted Rory Block at Billy Blues Friday; Christian alt-rockers DC Talk at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion Saturday; guitar innovator Michael Hedges at Rockefeller's Sunday; and the comeback-minded '80s synth icon Howard Jones at Rockefeller's Tuesday. -- Hobart Rowland
