Those of you who enjoy the sound of an eight-car freeway pileup recreated by guitars, with accompanying Cookie Monster vocals, will want to steer clear of this show. But if you like your pop music to be tuneful and well-crafted, you might want to check out Old Ironsides this Friday, September 28, when

Holiday Flyer celebrates the release of its delicious new Darla Records CD, I Hope. Also on the bill are the

Decibels (headlining) and

Baby Grand, two bands that are no slouches in the melody and rhythm departments. Show starts at 9 p.m., admission $7.
