Elvis & Johnny, kinda
Speaking of Wednesday, Robert Shaw and The Lonely Street Band step back in time with the one-off, “Elvis and Johnny — The Early Years.” Shaw & Co. cover early hits by the King and the Man In Black, whose legacies get a continual update thanks to multiple reissues. It goes down at 8 p.m. on April 29 at Jim Porter’s Good Time Emporium (2345 Lexington Road). Tickets are $10 and available at Jim Porter’s box office (452-9531), ear X-tacy and www.ticketweb.com.

SonaBURST!
Lucky Pineapple have signed a deal with SonaBLAST! Records (Ben Sollee, Mark Geary). The band’s latest album, The Bubble Has Burst in Sky City, will be re-released nationally later this year. Meanwhile, The Invaders, which features LP drummer J.C. Denison and Joe Meredith (formerly of The Merediths), are finishing up work on a debut album. A release date has not been set.

Windy City Wives
Trophy Wives have been invited to play in Chicago in June at Union Rock Yards, a weekend barbecue hosted by Electrical Audio, home to Steve Albini, Bob Weston and other engineers. Bassist Tony Ash says the trio is still in the process of recording its full-length album at Headfirst Media, but in the meantime, Hawthorne Street Records will release a vinyl version of the band’s self-titled four-song EP. Trackage is at myspace.com/trophywivesofkentucky.
