This all-local lineup featuring Howling Midnight and Sick Dogs is a cross-section of our native rock scene that’s both hefty and refreshingly diverse.

Blues-rock hulks Howling Midnight will bring the beef by squeezing Queens of the Stone Age tonnage out of a Black Keys setup.

Moat Cobra will get nasty with their ferocious metal-toothed punk rock. Sick Dogs will hang tough with their street-punk anthems. And as their hilariously localized name suggests, new band Gnarcoossee will bring both speed and humor with their headlong metal.

(8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10, Will’s Pub, $7-$10)
