Want to see some live music tonight? Here are your best options, curated by the Willamette Week music staff.

WEDNESDAY, DEC. 2

Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, Holiday Friends

[FAMILIAR AND ANONYMOUS] Andrew McMahon is that guy who sings "Cecilia and the Satellite." You know, the one in a commercial for a car or Kindles or some shit? The one that has the video featuring him and his infant daughter and it's all cute or whatever? It has a feel-good, sing-along chorus? You'd definitely know it if you heard it. Anyway, he's that guy. If you're into that kind of trendy indie-pop, he's got a whole album with songs that aren't "Cecilia and the Satellite," but might as well be. SHANNON GORMLEY. Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside St. 8 pm. $23.50. All ages.

!!!, Stereolad, the Lower 48

[DANCE-PUNK] Critical favor may have moved on from Sacramento's !!!—once again, most commonly pronounced "Chk Chk Chk," though any three repeated syllables will do—but almost 20 years in, the band just keeps on keeping on, sharpening its brand of post-punk disco with each album. Its latest is the slightly more electro-fied As If, and while it doesn't necessarily represent a great leap forward, it continues to prove these guys have always understood the funk better than many of their peers. Come early for Stereolad, featuring !!! frontman Nic Offer in a dress doing Stereolab songs. Why? Because why not? MATTHEW SINGER. Doug Fir Lounge, 830 E Burnside St, 9 pm. $15. 21+.

The Jacqui Naylor Band

[JAZZ CLUB CLASSICS] San Francisco-based singer Jacqui Naylor and her band play cleanly interpreted renditions of American classics, hearkening back to the days of jazz clubs past. At the time, local all-stars would pack houses and perform their renditions of pop hits to dancing crowds. The modern club scene may prefer Calvin Harris to Barry Harris, but Naylor and her band haven't changed their tune, continuing to bring shimmery versions of songs like "Skylark"which appears on her latest record, Dead Diva's Society—to modern ears all the same. PARKER HALL. Jimmy Mak's, 221 NW 10th Ave. 8 pm. $13 general admission, $15 reserved seating. Under 21 permitted until 9:30 pm.

Ezra Furman, Guy Blakeskee

[TWEE-POP] Whether he's backed by Tufts University cronies the Harpoons or his other band the Boy-Friends, Ezra Furman has kept up steady prolific output. With an emotive shriek akin to early Daniel Johnston leading Violent Femmes and the rollicking instrumentation of Ryan Adams' first few records, Furman is adamant to retain his juvenile naiveté. This year's Perpetual Motion People adds more luscious pop songs to his infectious song book. CRIS LANKENAU. Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi Ave. 9 pm. $12. 21+.
