Locced Down

The Hard Lessons play indie rock that manages to be cutesy and soulful at the same time. Not easy to pull off. The band’s song “See and Be Scene,” catchy enough to be a Weezer single (hand-claps included), is all about young hipsters trying too hard to be cool. Ironically, the Hard Lessons recently played that number to a crowd of scenesters at the SXSW music festival in Austin. Joining the group tonight at O’Brien’s are the Sterns and Age Rings.
