The M's perform "Plan of the Man" on "Future Women"

Recently signed to Polyvinyl Records, Chicago-based quartet the M’s has already earned pre-release praise for its second album, Future Women. Filled with catchy three-part harmonies and blissed-out distortion, the M’s music recalls Village Green/Arthur-era Kinks or the sounds of early-’70s T.Rex. While touring with such modern greats as Wilco, Spoon and Of Montreal, the M’s garnered glowing reviews from critics who noted the band’s combination of noise rock and psyche-glazed pop. Having recently completed a month-long residency at Chicago’s legendary Schuba’s club, the M’s are currently on a nationwide tour and come to Buffalo on Tuesday for a performance at Mohawk Place. Brooklyn’s Dirty On Purpose, a band whose music recalls the sounds of early Jesus and Mary Chain or those intentionally enigmatic artists on the 4AD label of the 1980s, is also on the bill. Opening the show is Ice Cream Social, one of the best young local bands to appear this year.

9pm. Mohawk Place, 47 E. Mohawk St. (855-3931). $7
