Yura Yura Teikoku and Excepter
Though Yura Yura Teikoku have been around since 1989, the band remains largely unknown outside their native Japan; just a few of the group’s albums are available here, and only as expensive imports. That’s a shame: This trio makes swanky pop music that’s straight ahead in all the right places, with psychedelic undertones. Appearing with them is the spaced-out Brooklyn band Excepter, part of Brooklyn’s art-folk scene (think Black Dice and Animal Collective). Headed by former No-Neck Blues Band member John Fell Ryan, Excepter produces noise that can go from understated to grating in minutes – which is to say there’s no telling what they’ll do. Tonight at Northsix (66 N. 6th Street, Brooklyn, 718-599-5103).
