One of our favorite newer bands hooks up with a few of its esteemed forebears from the local scene, for what is perhaps the most anticipated of the Guest Session Sunday concerts. Those puckish young men in their blue tracksuits, who’ve been criminally forced to drop the “Olympic” and play simply as the Hopefuls, will be joined by both drummer Peter Anderson from the experimental popsters Polara and by the Flops, that sly “boy band” composed of John Munson and Matt Wilson (pictured here). And since Dan Wilson is also showing up, this could count as a de facto Semisonic/Trip Shakespeare reunion. Finally, with Rake columnist (and Current DJ) Mary Lucia hosting, this has all the makings for a witty and delightful evening. Fitzgerald Theater, 10 E.
