“Give me what I want / I’ll give you what you need,” 28 North declares on “The Shine,” and that is precisely what is happening this month at Arlenes Grocery, where the Pittsburgh four-piece is holding a Thursday night residency that began on November 4 and continues November 11 & 18 at 10:00. Guitarists Michael Lindner and Alex Stanton, bassist Jonathan Colman, and drummer Tyler Bond play feel-good southern roots rock that blends Americana with 1970s classic rock on such songs as the countryish “The Last Goodbye,” the poppy “Call Me Up” and “Carry the Rains,” the funky “Set It Down,” and the metalish “Prayer to Mars.” The unsigned band has one disc out, an eponymous album released in April, but they have an extensive songbook of more than 250 tunes, from such originals as “Pride,” “Mystery,” “Beast Jug,” and “Sneaky Woman” to a surprise cover of the Cranberries’ “Dreams.” Michelle Cleary (7:00), the Hotcakes (8:00), Let’s Destroy (9:00), the Kid Henry (11:00), and Propane Cowboy (12:00) are also on the bill November 11, with Rory Sullivan (7:00), Bram Johnson (8:00), Big Mosey (9:00), Lily Sparks (11:00), and Bo Peep (12:00) playing November 18.
