San Francisco indie-rock trio Bellavista — singer Rex Shelverton, bassist Jeremy Bringetto, and drummer Cary LaScala — almost made it big in the garage-rock band Vue. They signed to Sub Pop and garnered rave reviews in major music mags, but ultimately got dropped by RCA and disbanded in 2004. Now, renamed as Bellavista, the three show they’ve still got plenty of dark and dirty allure on their 2007 self-titled debut: brash guitars and a raw sound. With the Flesh and the Front at the Uptown on Thursday, May 24. 9 p.m., $5. UptownNightclub.com
