The term acoustic evokes images of somber, steady guitar strumming, airy vocals and perhaps a half-empty (or half-full, depending on your perspective) soy latte, but that’s not the breed of acoustic guitar Seattle duo Science! specializes in. The pair play their old six strings furiously and with precision, and Jim Elenteny’s nimble finger picking and Justin Stang’s raspy vocals will get your feet a stompin’, especially on their cheeky, upbeat ode to their rainy stomping grounds, Seattle Song. On the more subdued Abilene, it’s fun just to watch their fingers fly from fret to fret. The exclamation point is well-earned. There’s is one of the best concerts we’ll be highlighting weekly throughout the summer on our blog. Tickets to tonight’s show at The Rock Shop are $8 in advance or $10 at the door.
