The fine young rock ’n’ roll animals in The Autonomics will return to town Saturday night to play the Show Us Your Spokes series at Parrilla Grill.

The trio — which started in Bend and moved to Portland a few years ago — plays scorching, riff-tastic rock ’n’ roll with roots in the blues. Think The White Stripes working on their guitar jangle and their smirk while traveling at top speed and you’re in the ballpark. You can hear their debut full-length “Trust Your Instincts” at www.theautonomics.bandcamp.com.

So what has the band been up too lately? Judging by its Facebook, playing tons of gigs and sketching out an itinerary for an upcoming West Coast tour. The kinds of things you should be doing when you pick your band up and move it to the big city in hopes of making it your career.

The Autonomics; 7 p.m. Saturday; $5; Parrilla Grill, 635 N.W. 14th St., Bend; 541-617-9600.
