Wear Black

If you caught Interpol’s recent appearance at the Uptown Theater, you may think there’s no point in lining up with the goth kids for She Wants Revenge tonight in Lawrence. Both bands owe too much to Joy Division. And as far as monotone warbles go, Interpol’s Paul Banks is a better substitute for Ian Curtis than SWR’s Justin War­field. Yet, during lonely nighttime car rides and — better — in dimly lighted, packed clubs, SWR’s pounding beats and songs about sadomasochistic love affairs become creepily intoxicating. Tap into your dark side tonight at The Granada (1020 Massachusetts in Lawrence, 785-842-1390). Tickets cost $15. She Wants Revenge Granada Theatre
