- Instrumental experimentalism galore at Neumo’s tonight. Japan’s MONO is a post-rock band who are known for destroying audiences with waves of massive sound. They recently produced a more restrained, cinematic album with World’s End Girlfriend, who along with local noise rockers of Kinski round out the bill. [neumo's]
- An indie new-wavey evening downtows with the U.K.’s Kaiser Chiefs, NYC’s Walkmen who recently recorded a concept album of 2006’s favorite rediscovered songwriter Harry Nilsson by doing a track-by-track cover of his (and John Lennon’s) Pussy Cats, as well as Portland’s sunny dispositioned Little Ones.

- True fans of Russian-born anti-folk singer/songwriter Regina Spektor probably already have the necessary tickets to see her performance. The rest will need to scour the sidewalks hoping for salvation in the form of spare tickets, scalpers, or unsuccessful craigslist sellers. [themoore]
