Electric Six w/ Tragedy: All Metal Tribute to The

Constellation Room, 3503 South Harbor Blvd, Santa Ana. May 15th. Electric Six and Tragedy: All Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees on the same bill at a 500-cap room — a pairing that makes perfect sense only after you've heard both acts and realized that "Danger! High Voltage" and a metal arrangement of "Stayin' Alive" occupy more adjacent territory than anyone would have predicted.

Electric Six is a band that has been playing stadium rock for ironic audiences for twenty years and has gotten better at it. "Gay Bar," "Danger! High Voltage," "Rock and Roll Evacuation" — the catalog hits in a small room in a way the songs were built for. The Constellation Room is exactly the right size: enough people to generate real crowd energy, close enough to see the band doing the specific thing they do.

Tragedy does Bee Gees as heavy metal, which is not a gimmick until you hear it and realize it was always a heavy metal record underneath the disco arrangement. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. May 15th in Santa Ana. If you liked either of these acts separately, seeing them together at this venue is the specific kind of night that becomes a story you tell for years.
