Saturday Night at Eighth and Rail. Sons of William – 1970s and’80s rock is clearly a beloved touchstone for this Louisiana rock trio, who favor bold anthems built around chiming guitars, sturdy hooks and simple choruses elevated by their performance dynamics and melodic sense. As they spell out in “Lucifer Hands,” their goals are basic but real: “Ain’t got no big city dreams/ I’m just trying to raise hell with the boys in the band/ And keep the bullshit nice and lean.” With Griffin House at Hotel Café Saturday. www.myspace.com/sonsofwilliam
