More About
Boat + the Quiet Ones + Blitzen Trapper
Portland's Blitzen Trapper are a bit like Yankee Hotel Foxtrot–era Wilco crossed with early, four-track Beck, though a good bit more country. Crocodile Cafe, 9 p.m. $6
In Flames
Thank god for Bonzo. Even from afar, he keeps us hip via Decibel on metal legends-in-the-making, like Sweden's dynamic In Flames, who've just released Come Clarity (Ferret). Trivium, Devildriver, and Zao add to the unstoppable force. Showbox, 7:30 p.m. $19 adv./$22
Thursday, February 2
Shemekia Coepland
The seven-time W.C. Handy Award–winning blues singer comes in support of her new The Soul Truth (Alligator). Dimitriou's Jazz Alley, 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. $23.50 Also Fri., Feb. 3–Sun., Feb. 5
The Gossip + Numbers + Bobcats
SEE TALK TALK [GOSSIP], P. 40. Chop Suey, 8 p.m. $10
Marah
Philly's roots-rock standard bearers return in support of their recent If You Didn't Laugh, You'd Cry (Yep Roc). Adam and Dave's Bloodline open. Crocodile Cafe, 9 p.m. $12 adv./$14
Steve Spacek
The lead singer of south London R&B group Spacek, his solo album Spaceshift (Sound in Color) was one of last year's most overlooked gems. Reworking vintage soul, and with inspiration from R & B crooners like Mayfield, Spacek performs live tonight. SunTzu Sound and Fourthcity DJs warm up the crowd. Baltic Room, 9 p.m.
Jeff Tweedy
SEE ARTSPICK, P. 34. Moore Theatre, 8 p.m. $25 adv./$28.50
Friday, February 3
Blixa Bargeld + F Space + the Living Jarboe
Einstürzende Neubauten frontman Bargeld and ex-Swans vocalist Jarboe are dark-sider icons in long standing, and seeing them in this intimate, plush venue should be a black-lighted treat. Triple Door, 8 p.m. $10
Blank and Jones
We realize we say something similar each week, but the trance production duo of Piet Blank and Jaspa Jones has made some classic euphoric tracks ("After Love," "Cream") that are definitely worth waiting through any Euro-dance club mix for. Last Supper Club, 10 p.m. $10
Blue Scholars + Village Green + Mon Frere + Natalie Quist
If you're not a student, you might not be aware of UW's student-run station, but like most great ones you can listen online (rainydawg.com) to a variety of styles, represented well in the local hip-hop, garage, and rock performers at their B-day bash tonight. UW Hub North Den, 204L Hub, 543-8131, 7 p.m. $4 UW ID/$8
Broken Disco
Yet another interesting electronic show this evening, Portland's Freaky Chakra, Tekgnosis, and Justin Byrnes will get the body loosened and mind expanded with their off-the-deep-end trance. CHAC Lower Level, 1621 12th Ave., 9 p.m. $7
Caps and Jones
We're not being cheeky—it's purely coincidental! Try not to picture a bikini'd Phoebe Cates when listening to pop eat itself on the mixmasters' Moving in Stereo. Four Color Zack also spins. War Room, 9 p.m. $5
DJ Craze + Dara + Juju
The mighty Kaos Theory crew is back to bringing insane drum and bass talent to town after a three-year hiatus. Helping them regain their position are the wildly influential headliners, and some of the locals they've influenced, including MK Ultra, the Dowlz, and Flave. Premier, 10 p.m. $15 adv./$18 All ages
Filastine + Infernal Noise Brigade
Political sound cruncher/arranger/de- and-reprogrammers Filastine founded Seattle's own anarchist marching band, the Infernal Noise Brigade, also performing tonight, along with New Orleans' DJ Karo, who salvaged some of his collection from the dirty south disaster. Lo Fi, 10 p.m. $6
Mute Math
This electro-alt rock band's ascent has had everything to do with MySpace (and relentless touring), resulting in 30,000 record-owning fans in under a year. Ask them how they did it at this show with Vedera and Mercir. Crocodile Cafe, 8 p.m. $10 adv./$12 All ages
Reggae Fest
Head to Georgetown for this Black History Reggae Fest includes Winston "Flames" Jarrett, Wadi Gad, Alex Duncan, the Crucialites, and Culture Yard Sound. Studio Seven, 8 p.m. $15/$18—two-day pass; $30/$40—three-day. Also Sun., Feb. 5, with Mikey Dread, Alex Duncan, Talisman, Mystik I Am, Players of Instruments, Fantasy Sound.
Jah Wobble and the English Roots Band
The ex-PiL bassist has been a mainstay of experimental dub for a couple decades now, and he'll be bringing a full, sharp band with him. El Corazon, 8 p.m. $12 adv./$14
Saturday, February 4
Bob Marley's Wailers + Dr. Israel
The headliners play here all the time, but it's opener Dr. Israel, a Brooklyn dub and downtempo mastermind, who really counts. Neumo's, 8 p.m. $20 adv./$25. All ages
The Charming Snakes + the Turn-Ons + Lillydale
Word on the street is that this may be one of the Snakes' last performances, so go get charmed (nyuck, nyuck) while you can. The dreamy Turn-Ons and Lillydale will keep that feeling going strong. High Dive, 9 p.m. $6
Ghidra + Girth
Ghidra consists of Wally Shoup on deep, wandering saxophone, Bill Horist on a guitar that will not behave, and experimental drummer Mike Peterson. The sound is free, far out, and freakily melodic. Blue Moon, 9 p.m.
The Prids
Their "stardusted fuzz" was last heard on 2003's gorgeous Love Zero (Luminal), but a new album's in the works for this Portland band, performing tonight with Joy Wants Eternity and the Furniture Girls. Funhouse, 9:30 p.m. $5
Monday, February 6
Matisyahu + Blue Scholars
The headliner, a Hasidic reggae singer, will hopefully overwhelm his novelty status; the openers, lots of people's favorite local rap crew, did a long time ago. Showbox, 7 p.m. Sold out
