Live! Tonight! Not Sold-Out!

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

THURSDAY, DEC. 10

Della Mae, Water Tower

[BOSTON COUNTRY] Della Mae may have started in Boston, but these ladies sure sound like they were born and bred in Nashville, which the country-styled five-piece does, in fact, call home now. Celia Woodsmith's voice wouldn't sound out of place ringing out of the Bluebird Cafe, but accompaniment and harmonies from fiddler Kimber Ludiker, mandolinist Jenni Lyn Gardner, bassist Zoe Guigueno and guitarist-banjo player Courtney Hartman align Della Mae more closely with the alterna-folk of the Wailin' Jennys and nu-grass of the Punch Brothers. Della Mae's self-titled third album— which actually includes a stunning cover of the Low Anthem's "To Ohio" just to keep it all in the Americana revival family—expands on the musicality of 2013's Grammy-nominated This World Oft Can Be. HILARY SAUNDERS. Doug Fir Lounge, 830 E Burnside St. 9 pm. $13.00. 21+.

Mushroomhead, 9Electric, Come//Rest, Amerakin Overdose, Separation of Sanity

[NEW NÜ] If you remember Mushroomhead at all, you probably remember them as the poor man's version of Slipknot—a bunch of dudes wearing scary masks screaming about their lives as outcasts. As it happens, the Cleveland septet has been slowly ticking along since the mid-'90s, producing a post-King for a Day Faith No More version of nu-metal that nods toward industrial rock and Juggalo theatrics. Now, eight albums in and still keeping a post-millennial version of the 1999 nu-metal aesthetic alive, Mushroomhead produces a form of hard rock significantly more creative and catchy than anyone appears to have noticed. WALKER MACMURDO. Hawthorne Theatre, 1507 SE Cesar Chavez Blvd. 7:30 pm. $25. All ages.

Kiasmos, Strategy, Beacon Sound DJs

[CINEMATIC DANCE] The two-piece outfit of Kiasmos, based out of Reykjavik, landed on a number of year-end lists in 2014, on the strength of its self-titled debut. Residing somewhere on the Icelandic electronic-twee spectrum between Mum and Björk, Kiasmos crafts deeply lulling ambient techno from primarily acoustic sources. Featuring the talents of award-winning composer Ólöf Arnalds and electro-pop composer Janus Rasmussen, Kiasmos' minimal productions evoke the Nordic landscape via sweeping string loops and pads that float above icy soundscapes. Neo-classical at times, Kiasmos creates melancholic dance music with few frills, sounding a bit like Sigur Rós with a drum machine. WYATT SCHAFFNER. Holocene, 1001 SE Morrison St. 8:30 pm. $15. 21+.

Andrew Endres Collective, Blue Cranes

[PARTLY CLOUDY JAZZ] Read our review of Andrew Endres Collective's Desolation here. Jimmy Mak's, 221 NW 10th Ave. 8 pm. $10 advance, $12 day of show. Under 21 permitted until 9:30 pm.

Carousel, Fuzzy Dice, Pushy

[BOOGIE METAL] Pittsburgh's Carousel trades in the same kind of dual-guitar hard-rock that drives Danava fans nuts. But while Danava ventures into all kinds of progressive pastures, Carousel sticks to its guns and stays firmly on the rails of rock. This is beer drinking party metal that should please both Thin Lizzy worshippers and Monster Magnet fans. In a bit of booking brilliance, Carousel has been paired with local rock quartet Pushy, a group that flavors its retro-riff rock with a healthy dose of groove. NATHAN CARSON. The Know, 2026 NE Alberta St. 8 pm. $5. 21+.
