Boasting an all-star lineup, including ex-dB’s guitarist Peter Holsapple and former Bangles frontwoman Vicki Peterson, the Continental Drifters’ particular brand of roots pop stems from the varied musical backgrounds of its members. From Holsapple and ex-Dream Syndicate bassist Mark Walton come the Drifters’ sprightly guitar riffs; from Peterson, the group takes its harder, rock-oriented sound; and there’s a slight country/folk influence exerted by Holsapple’s ex-wife, Susan Cowsill (yes, of those Cowsills). Building upon their auspicious beginning as a collective of like-minded musicians joining forces to produce quality music while having a little old-fashioned fun in the process, the Continental Drifters have now solidified quite nicely as a band. Saturday, they bring their unique blend of Americana jangle pop to the Echo Lounge for what promises to be an eclectic evening.
9 p.m. Saturday. With the Swimming Pool Q’s
