Good Show Great Show released some new material for the first time since its 2012 album Larry Turquoise — a new song called “Math,” available on the band’s Soundcloud. The track also features Aaron Galvan and Alex Drvol of Freakabout.
The Lincoln trio’s track is carried along by brooding classic rock guitar riffs that finally pay off in a moody solo suitable for an ‘80s motorcycle ride into the sunset.
We hope to hear more from the electro-folk band soon.

Lincoln rapper Sleep Sinatra is back at it lately, with one new release and more in the works.
His most recent Sm Grims-produced output, “Yah’s Dust,” builds on what he started with his latest full-length, Monsters and Children. It’s smooth, relaxed and almost hazy, but simmering with a palpable intensity and ferocity.

If you’re out and about tonight, there’s a couple notable shows:
Brooklyn punk band Cerebral Ballzy plays Vega. The band is often noted for its throwback, party-laden style of New York punk. Cerebral Ballzy released its sophomore album Jaded & Faded earlier this year on Cult Records. RSVP here.
The Bourbon’s big week — lines stretch down O Street for Gov’t Mule on Tuesday and Cherub last night — continues tonight with We Came As Romans. The heavy-hitting American metal band is known for its melodic, instrument-oriented take on metalcore. They’re also very into self-discovery, billing this national trek as the Present, Future, and Past Tour. It’s a 6:30 p.m. show. RSVP here.
