RED SQUARE, FRIDAY
The Biblical historian Flavius Josephus testified that Jesus was crucified and raised from the dead. Halleluja! Brother Joscephus of modern-day Brooklyn has testified that love and funk will raise you from the dead. Ditto, hallelujah! The 12-piece Love Revolution are probably something old JC could have gotten down to, so long as he dug deep, second-line New Orleans grooves and tight horn breakdowns. The Right Reverend Dean Dawg co-leads this good-time revival act, bringing some of that gospel high to agnostic revellers of all stripes. (Dec. 28, 8 PM, $10, 388 Broadway, Albany, 465-0444)
