Future Bartenderz perform as a full band for the first time Monday

Brian Costello’s solo recording project Future Bartenderz has manifested live from time to time as a one-man show. But this momentous event will be the debut of Future Bartenderz as a full band, finally earning that “z.”

Celebrating yet another milestone, their next album — a whopping double album whose title, Millswills Willsbillies, is a hyperlocal sendup of the Kinks’ Muswell Hillbillies — will also be released the week of the show.

Powered by an all-star roster of accomplished local players, expect the sly, left-field cleverness of Costello’s art-punk to be rendered in more color and vibrance than ever before.

Opening will be local underground faves the Palmettes and Fatties.

8 p.m. Monday, May 15, Will’s Pub, $7.
