Oh, discriminating indie-rock fan: Don’t knock Local H. Yes, they’re a one-hit wonder from the ’90s alt-rock boom, when “Bound for the Floor” was a big single for a few weeks in ’96 — you know, that “You just don’t get it/Keep it copacetic” song. But here’s a treat for you, O skeptical one: A new B-side features a fuzzy cover of TV on the Radio’s “Wolf Like Me.” Check it out at www.myspace.com/localh. Pretty good, huh? See you at the show, then. There’s more to the band than one song — they’re howling forever. PS: Austin rawkers Lions are worth showing up early to see.
