- Tonight at Neumo’s, a slate of Scottish bands with deceptively twee names. Sure, all three of the Fat Cat labelmates have their share of emotional turmoil, but they swaddle their sad bastard hearts in searing guitars and thick brogue. Of the group, the Twilight Sad are the most twisted wall of sound, Frightened Rabbit comes nearest to the hard-driving diary entries, and We Were Promised Jetpacks splits the difference. All three of their albums have found their way into heavy ipod rotation. $13 adv, 8pm [neumos]
- Sportin’ Life’s D. Black, seemingly beloved by all of the hiphop fans on my internet, releases his new record Ali’Yah tonight at the Crocodile with support from Dyme Def, They Live, Darrius Willrich, Spaceman, and DJ Vitamin D. $10, 8pm. [croc]
