Local Anesthesia: Songbirds Not your average stool pigeons at BRT by BOB GULLA

Former Lounge Lizard and compulsive prosthetic-limb collector Erik Sanko was never likely to be anyone's pop star, so it wasn't much of a surprise when his gothic junk-rock outfit Skeleton Key didn't make it past one major-label album. But the group's subterranean lurch had friends in low places, and after a creepy solo disc, Sanko has resurrected the moniker with a new line-up and the new Obtanium -- imagine a cross between Tom Waits's Bone Machine and Girls Against Boys' Cruise Yourself -- for Mike Patton's Ipecac label. Tonight (Thursday, October 24) Skeleton Key are at the Middle East (617-864-EAST) in Cambridge; Saturday they're at Rudy's (203-799-9006) in New Haven.
