The garage punk band M.O.T.O. (Masters of the Obvious) headlines tonight’s live music at Deep Cuts. Formed in New Orleans in 1981 but now operating out of New Hampshire, the band has always functioned primarily as a platform for founder Paul Caporino’s songwriting, a repertoire that includes hundreds of songs in a variety of genres such as pop, punk rock, metal, soul, noise music, garage rock, and new wave. Also performing: the Paint Fumes (from Charlotte, N.C.) and the Puke Pisstols. Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 show day through Dice.
