We’re not sure that people in, say, San Diego would get such a kick out of hearing a swingy jazz rendition of the Replacements’ “I Will Dare,” but in these parts, such a thing scores high in both the nostalgia and novelty categories, with extra points for being beautifully and creatively executed. This trio, made up of Semisonic’s John Munson, the Suburbs’ Chan Poling, and vibes-guy-about-town Steve Roehm, has remade local and national punk rock classics for its self-titled CD debut. Live, the three should shake up the super-cool environs of the Dakota Jazz Club in just the right way. 612-332-1010; www.dakotacooks.org
