Ra Ra Riot, Wednesday, February 25: ItaE™s no fluke that Ra Ra Riot went from playing gigs around Syracuse UniversityaE™s campus to headlining a national tour in less than a yearaE™s time. The five-piece indie rock band is an absolute joy to see live. Lead vocalist Wes Miles possesses a melancholy croon that drips with sincerity. And cellist Alexandra Lawn and violinist Rebecca Zeller manage to awkwardly dance, err, hop, about while playing their respective instruments. (Check out a clip of the band playing Late Show with David Letterman via YouTube and youaE™ll see what I mean.) Since releasing their critically acclaimed debut LP The Rhumb Line through Barsuk Records last year, Ra Ra Riot has become a beloved favorite in the indie circuit. Yet, they still come off like a handful of eager (and slightly geeky) college kids rocking out to earn some beer moneyaE”which makes them all the more endearing. With Cut Off Your Hands, Telekinesis. Neumos, 925 E. Pike St., 709-9467. 8 p.m. $12.50. All ages. Note by ERIKA HOBART MP3: Dying is Fine

Alice Russell, Thursday, March 26: Clearly influenced by music from the heyday of the Motown and Stax labels, this Brighton, UK soul singer-songwriter might be one of the greatest new discoveries in pop music this year. After cultivating a sizable European following, she is currently touring North America in support of Pot of Gold (Six Degrees), her first disc to come out stateside.A aEœGot The Hunger,aE the disc's main single, has a catchy horn arrangement that pays homage to the work of the late Arif Mardin, while aEœFly In My HandaE seamlessly blends funk with Europop tendencies. Russell wrote on her web site that her primary influences include Minnie Ripperton, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan and Aretha Franklin. Like her influences, RussellaE™s firm, confident voice makes it seem like sheaE™s been doing this for years, even though she is barely in her mid-twenties. With Big World Breaks. Nectar, 412 N. 36th St., 632-2020. 9 p.m., $10 adv. Note by ERNEST BARTELDES

[Thursday, December 18] Fun to say and even more fun to eat, MySpace hosts no less than 14 pagesaE™ worth of aEœNachoaE bands who've incorporated the cheesy treat into their name.  Seattle's The Nachos are a masked duo who revels in beats and depravity. These bondage-clad bad boys perpetrate keytarded whip-hop infused with just enough humor to keep their shtick on the correct side of the line between the ironic and completely offensive. Which makes them the perfect band for Jackie Hell's glorious perv party, LeSexy. With the Bobcats, Nrdlngr, Ben DeLacreme, DJ Baby J, Michelle Frances. King Cobra, 916 E. Pike St., 9 p.m., $7.

Beyonce, Wednesday, April 1: The most fascinating thing about BeyoncAc is that, even though sheaE™s been a household name for close to a decade, we still donaE™t know very much about her. In interviews sheaE™s polite and soft-spoken. In photographs sheaE™s composed. BeyoncAc is careful to only give us what we need, and thataE™s the pop diva persona sheaE™s honed to perfection. Her third album I AmaE¦ Sasha Fierce released in 2008 acknowledges the split between her private and public personas with two disks, one filled with intimate ballads and the other with brash up-tempo tracks. On the sweet aEœHalo,aE the singer rejoices at having found a good man, while on the raunchy aEœEgo,aE she warbles, aEœItaE™s too big/ ItaE™s too wide/ ItaE™s too strong/ It wonaE™t fitaE¦ I love his big ego.aE (SheaE™s obviously not talking about Jay-ZaE™s self esteem.) The sexy sirenaE™s Seattle appearance is a preview of sortsaE”itaE™s the only stop sheaE™ll make in the United States until this summer, when she wraps up the international leg of her tour. Why sheaE™d choose to first perform here rather than say, her hometown, Houston, is unknown. But much like BeyoncAcaE™s persona, itaE™s certain to have been very carefully calculated. KeyArena, 305 Harrison St. 7 p.m., $59.75 - $99.75. All ages. Note by ERIKA HOBART
