1. Angel Olsen at the Echoplex — March 2

5. The Entrance Band at the Roxy — March 8
The band resembles the seductive sounds of 1960′s bands such as Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, and The Doors. Hardly any vocals are heard by vocalist Guy Blakeslee, but that isn’t necessary when your ears are seduced by epic guitar solos and paced drums as heard on the track “Summertime”.

6. Mark Kozelek of Sun Kil Moon at First Unitarian Church — March 8
There might not be a songwriter out there today that is able to wax as elegantly as Kozelek about both the profound and the mundane, usually within just a few lines of each other. It’s on Kozelek’s long running project Sun Kil Moon’s sixth album, Benji that he perhaps accomplishes this best.

7. Solids with Creative Adult at Church on York — March 8
Solids are a glorious hurricane of crashing cymbals, fuzzy blankets of distortion, and the perfect sounding punk vocals with soaring (yet chaotic) choruses that just beg for you to chime in. Coming from California’s North Bay Punk scene, Creative Adult have created a new punk record that thrashes with emotion. It breathes an omnipotence of what punk once sounded like.
