On the scale of two-wheeled assaults, Kyle Hill of the bands Goldie Wilson and Bandolier came out about as unscathed as one could hope for in a scooter accident. He broke his arm, trashed his scooter and skidded through one of the two layers of jeans he was wearing, But he retained his ever-valuable skull and its irreplaceable contents. A close call, to be sure. Saturday will see a benefit show at The New Frontier, held in Hill's honor, and thrown by Lino Fernandez, to help Hill out with medical bills and the repair of his scooter. Besides being involved in bands like the Dignitaries and Murder Party, Fernandez is Hill's bandmate in the retro-pop outfit  Bandolier. While both Bandolier and Goldie Wilson practice a retro-pop sound, they interpret the shared time frame of the mid- to late-1960s in different ways. Bandolier has the breezy, carefree feeling of a band that may have been featured in Pop Gear in 1965. Meanwhile Goldie Wilson, with a new album due in the summer, approaches the early days of psychedelia with a more nuanced edge.
