There’s a natural human hesitancy toward stripping down: it takes a supreme level of confidence to remove all your layers, stand in front of a roomful of people, and show your stuff flaws and all. While we wouldn’t recommend throwing dollar bills at them (not that they’d necessarily mind), that’s the musical approach The Sun Lee Sunbeam is taking during their show tonight at The Plough & Stars (912 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, 617.576.0032). The two-guy, two-gal quartet will take the stage to perform music from their newly released album Beneath the Burning Sky, plus some of their more rarely played tunes. But instead of their usual trussed-up indie-pop rock spiced with a Veruca Salt-ish sound, they’ll take it off — take it all off, baby! — with a stripped-down acoustic presentation of their goods. If you’d rather experience them with all the dressings, check out their website for info on a February 6 gig at Great Scott (1222 Commonwealth Avenue, Allston, 617.734.4502). Otherwise, hit up tonight’s free Stars show at 10:30 p.m.
