The Jesus and Mary Chain

Gen-X music lovers aren’t quite sure how excited to be about next week’s pending reunion gig by the Jesus & Mary Chain, the band’s first stop at First Ave since 1998. Like all great rock ’n’ roll brothers, Scottish bandleaders Jim and William Reid just can’t seem to get along. Even in their heyday, their tenuous live shows were rarely as good as their classic albums, which have lived on in movies (“Just Like Honey” in “Lost in Translation,” “Taste of Candy” in “Adventureland”) and via Rhino Records reissues. Sobriety and years apart might make a big difference. Opener the Psychic Paramount is a purr-to-roar instrumental trio from New York. Chris Riemenschneider
