NEON WEDNESDAY
See the Rapture at House of Blues
Punk and disco once seemed out to kill each other, and in the hands of the Rapture, it still sounds that way at times. Crashing jagged shards of guitar shrapnel headlong into dancefloor rebel yells, the band kicks out the snarling, sardonic jams with their tongues in their cheeks and their fists in your face. This is what new wave sounds like with its hair on fire.
See the band at 7 p.m. at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, 3950 Las Vegas Blvd. South. Tickets are $22; call 632-7600.
