More About
Jeremy Enigk
As the vocalist for one of Seattle alt-rock's most influential '90s bands, Sunny Day Real Estate, as well as the pretty damn decent Fire Theft, Enigk's got a built-in fanbase eagerly awaiting his forthcoming (and second) solo album. Hear songs from it tonight, with Jen Wood and Sea.Mine also on the bill. Neumo's, 8 p.m. $12 adv./$15
Get Off the Couch: Western Graves + the Pharmacy
Redmond's all-ages community center, the Old Firehouse, hosts the third annual Get off the Couch event, where DIY workshops of all sorts (today, zine construction; Thursday, how to assemble an art portfolio and work a PA;) occur during the day, and bands rock out at night. For more information, see www.ci.redmond.wa.us/redmond/web1/pr_1759.asp Old Firehouse, 16510 N.E. 79th St., Redmond, 7 p.m. NC
Imaad Wasif + Matthew Shaw + Assisted Living + Viking Moses
Fresh off a tour with the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, where he performed as the second guitarist, the Vancouver-born Wasif has just released his own, self-titled album of melancholy, acoustic paeans to heartbreak. Sunset Tavern, 9 p.m. $6
West Indian Girl + Trespassers William
The mellow, neo-psych sound of West Indian Girl returns to Seattle (as frequent players here) to ring in the summer with flourishes one critic has termed "like the Doves meets the Stone Roses by way of Laurel Canyon." Trespassers ease us into twilight with their own gentle grooves. Chop Suey, 9 p.m. $12
Thursday, June 29
Buckwheat Zydeco
Accordionist Stanley "Buckwheat" Dural is known as modern zydeco's most popular performer—so if you're into that up-tempo blend of folk and Cajun music, this is the place to be tonight. Tractor Tavern, 9 p.m. $20
Get Off the Couch: Chevron + Lifeboat + Corporate Dismay + Summer + Orcateers
Calling all couch potatoes: Here's your next-to-last chance to get in on the fun before the Firehouse's DIY extravaganza ends on Saturday. Old Firehouse, 16510 N.E. 79th St., Redmond, 7 p.m. NC
John Hiatt + North Mississippi Allstars
John Hiatt's articulate, workaday music makes one want to park a big brown Buick in the middle of a cow pasture in the dead of night and set to finishing off that fifth of bourbon that's been burning a hole in the glove box. With the North Mississippi Allstars, substitute an F-150 for the Buick and absinthe for bourbon. Marymoor Park, 6046 W. Lake Sammamish Pkw. N.E., Redmond, 7 p.m. $29.50/$49.50
Lichens + Cloudland Canyon + Sir Richard Bishop
In addition to playing bass and singing for 90 Day Men, Rob Lowe has generated a solo project of sublime proportions as Lichens. The Psychic Nature of Being is soon to be released on vinyl by psych-rock purveyors Holy Mountain. With his deep, mesmerizing voice and finger-picked acoustics, Lowe layers the record with looped, wordless drones. Sunset Tavern, 9 p.m. $7
Mose Allison + Larry Coryell
Singer/pianist Allison has won two Grammy nominations and the admiration of countless fans and musicians, including the Who, the Clash, and Bonnie Raitt, who've each honored him in covers.

She Wants Revenge + Ima Robot + Mellowdrone
Three L.A. hipster groups who love them some post-punk bass and synth will descend for a night of avant-garde rocking out! Openers Mellowdrone will be a tasteful saving grace (hope they play their cover of Boyz II Men's "It's So Hard") while headlining duo She Wants Revenge continues to spread their Joy Division/Interpol impersonation across the country. SWR will also DJ a set at Chop Suey's Club Pop dance party (it's 18+, yo) later this evening. Premier, 8 p.m. $20 All ages

Lucky for those ending up at the Showbox, it's a songwriting battle royale between SNL's Fred Armisen and the Shins' Martin Crandall and Dave Hernandez. Showbox, 8 p.m. $25
Be Your Own Pet
This buzz band of teenage Nashvillians rocked SXSW so hard this year that they ended up on the recent cover of Nylon's music issue.
