In yet another inspired local riff on the usually tired cover show concept, promoter Montgomery Drive has organized one with especially tantalizing possibilities.

Between intense post-hardcore extremists Gillian Carter covering Danzig, heavy fuzz-rock dealers Hutch taking on Slayer and melodic emo rockers Like Father interpreting Tool, the prospect of these intriguingly unlikely pairings is, at least for any true fan of Orlando music, arguably more exciting than seeing the source acts themselves.

Come see the surprise alter egos of some of the city’s best bands. What already looks interesting on paper could well turn out to be an unexpected revelation.

8 p.m. Tuesday, April 14, Will’s Pub, willspub.org, $10-$15.
