"One of the best things I've heard in 20 f**king years!" So exclaimed Little Steven, who (among other pursuits you may be familiar with) hosts Little Steven's Underground Garage radio show, about The Shazam's new Tomorrow the World. Yeah, this Nashville-based trio is pretty effing great, especially if you like guitar-fueled music that sounds like it comes from a garage in power pop's grittiest neighborhood. Led by Hans Rotenberry--who, with that name, will be forced to be a professional downhill skier if this music thing doesn't work out--the Anglophilic Shazam create muscular pop/rock a la the early Who and other Brit-invasion warriors. It's not for nothing that the band is named after a 1970 album from Roy Wood's versatile group The Move. Catch them, on their way to world domination, at Local 506 on Jan. 31. --Rick Cornell
