Little Brazil/Statisticsby Eric Boucher |

Spurred on by bands such as Bright Eyes, The Faint and Cursive, the Omaha music scene seems to operate as a tight-knit family, with bands constantly sharing members and independent ideals. Little Brazil (pictured) comes straight from that family, with members having spent time in such acclaimed outfits as The Good Life, Son Ambulance and Conor Oberst’s Desaparecidos. Formed in 2002 and releasing its debut last year, You And Me (Mt. Fuji Records), Little Brazil presents glorious pop melodies that bring to mind the endless hooks of Guided By Voices or Superchunk. Those melodies wrap themselves around the emotionally tortured lyrics of singer Landon Hedges. Little Brazil has also been known to back up Denver Dalley (better known by the name Statistics). Also a veteran and co-songwriter of Desaparecidos, Dalley has left behind the rockier terrain of that band to unveil beautiful pop songs. Statistics most recent album, Often Lie (Jade Tree), has been critically lauded for its backwards guitars, vintage synth lines and vivid Midwestern imagery. On Sunday, come see two more examples of why Omaha, Nebraska is getting so much attention when Little Brazil and Statistics play with Lemuria at Mohawk Place.
Sunday, November 6 at 9pm. Mohawk Place, 47 E. Mohawk St. (855-3931). $8
