It comes as no big surprise that the Hi-Nobles are new at this. Their take on Dirtbombs-esque Sixties garage soul is as genuine as can be, but not always convincing - the five musicians, who have backgrounds in metal, thrash, and punk through bands like Mordred and the Avengers, try out their new sound with mixed but generally enjoyable results.
At Bottom of the Hill (1233 17th St., San Francisco) on October 30. 9 p.m., $8
