Collective10:30 PM, Doors Open at 9:30 PMSoapBox Laundro Lounge255 North Front Street, Downtown Wilmington

$6; $3 Surcharge for Under 21

Desert Noises is a group of four adventurers from Utah Valley,Utah. Ask about their recent musical influences, and youllextract a litany on the riches of Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, and

Tame Impala. If it seems an unlikely trio of choices, it simplymeans that you havent yet become acquainted with theirpropulsive, jangle-rich breed of rock n roll. While one can pickout definite strains of blues and Americana, their often-ferocious

delivery and penchant for shredding guitars elicits a powerfultranscendence into psychedelic rock.
