The Old Ceremony has always been an elegant bunch, a peerless pop band that makes sophisticated, grown-up records. But as good as The Old Ceremony is on record - and the quintet's latest, "Tender Age" (Alyosha Records), is another fantastic collection of layered pop-rock that wears well - what can get lost during at-home listens is just how rockin' the group can be onstage, blazing away with an anthemic fervor that ought to resonate with any Springsteen fan. So get on out to Kings in Raleigh ( kingsbarcade.com) and see The Old Ceremony tonight. It's $10 at the door, and Hammer No More the Fingers opens the show at 9:30.
