Florida surf-rockers Fake Problems will come through Mohawk Place tonight, headlining a bill that also features The Swellers and Daytrader. I wasn't familiar with the band before this assignment, but a quick run-through of their material and online media has left me impressed. As my editor said, they sound like a combination of Franz Ferdinand and Surfer Blood - if both bands were more feel-good and poppy and uppity. Put it this way: their cover of oldie-but-goodie "Dream Lover" is well-done, authentic, and appropriate rather than pretentious or contrived. Doors open at 5:30, and the show costs $12.Tonight: Fake Problems
