Music: Dan Melchior

DAN MELCHIOR is a Shepperton, England, transplant who has written and performed alongside the likes of former Headcoatee Holly Golightly and working-class folk-punk icon Billy Childish. As such, Melchior's sound is a raw and unbridled rock dirge that comes close to resembling garage rock, but could never be restrained by such neutered and easily definable terms. This time around, he fronts his latest project, Dan Melchior und das Menace. Atlanta power-pop hero Gentleman Jesse opens the show. $7. 8 p.m. Eyedrum, 290 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, S.E., Suite 8. 404-522-0655. www.eyedrum.org.
