Music: Rock/Pop Travis w/ Maxïmo Park

Travis are a rarity amongst their Britpop kin. Having survived through the late-'90s glut of alt-pop bands thanks to continuously stellar songwriting, the Scottish group has also avoided pandering to the "adult alternative" market (Coldplay, take a bow) by taking the occasional dark, folksy detour into Americana. This year's The Boy with No Name — with its cinematic, wide-open spaces and more introspective, melancholic corners — continues their exceptional run. Opening act Maxïmo Park is just as impressive; the musical sharp shooters play tightly wound pop songs that bristle with post-punk's nervous energy.
