Performing as a Moeller Nights headliner on January 25, Trevor Sensor’s full-length LP debut bears the title Andy Warhol’s Dream, which should instantly give you an idea of the palette he works within. Vaguely nostalgic garage rock? Check. Evocations of the heyday of the 1960s? Definitely. A tongue-in-cheek view of art across the generations as being locked in a state of constant regurgitation and self-consumption? Oh yeah.

Nashville’s The Medium brings its baroque strain of '60s-worshipping indie pop/rock to the Triple Crown Whiskey Bar & Raccoon Motel on January 30. Seemingly born in a basement closet full of dusty British Invasion LPs, The Medium apparently surveyed all of what the U.K. had to offer in the mid-20th Century and settled on a sound somewhere between the tracks that appear on the A-side of Magical Mystery Tour and, well, the tracks that appear on the B-side of Magical Mystery Tour.

Mike Kinsella, who performs locally as a Moeller Nights headliner on January 18, records solo music under the moniker Owen, and the Chicago-based living legend earned his stripes over decades of peerless songwriting at the front, or co-front, of projects who would come to define then-emerging, '90s-born styles such as emo, indie rock, and math rock.

The passionate vocals of singer Alyssa Niemiec sit front and center in the music of Madison, Wisconsin-based rock quintet Skyline Sounds (playing Rozz-Tox on January 11), leaping from their songs in arcs of cascading melody and criss-crossing harmonies.
