Head to a performance by the Woggles and you’ll feel like you’ve entered some sort of time warp. The Atlanta-based quartet formed in the late ’80s, but somehow the members are able to squeeze decades worth of rock ‘n’ roll influences into each of their songs. The Woggles’ creativity isn’t even limited to English: The band’s released several tracks entirely sung in Japanese, a throwback to the old surf-rock that made its way overseas. Even if the Black Cat doesn’t have a bonfire and waves crashing in the background, the Woggles can make you feel like you’re escaping D.C. for a tiny patch of paradise.
