SATURDAY, OCT. 3
Los Thuthanaka’s brilliance was a not especially well-kept secret in the experimental music underground by the time Elly and Joshua Crampton finally put out their phenomenal self-titled debut of switched-on Andean folk music last year. Both of the Bolivian American siblings boast great solo work, with Elly transfiguring Andean huayno music as Chuquimamani-Condori and Joshua recording scouring solo electric guitar albums under his own name. But the raw, in-the-red music they make together represents an entirely new horizon. Wonder Ballroom, 128 NE Russell St. 8 pm. $34. All ages.
MONDAY, OCT. 5
Geordie Greep scared the bejesus out fans during a few recent opening slots for the Strokes, tongue-wagging at unsuspecting souls who just wanted to hear “Last Nite.” At his upcoming Rev Hall set, the former Black Midi frontman should have as much room to stretch out his sounds and syllables as he needs. Contorting his imperious British accent across quasi-tropical rhythms on his debut, The New Sound, Greep hardly seems to care if the average rock-’n’-roller likes him—but that remove is exactly what sucks in true fans. Revolution Hall, 1300 SE Stark St. 8 pm. $34.41. All ages.
TUESDAY, OCT. 6
Acid Mothers Temple is one of the best band names ever. Not only do you know exactly what they sound like from reading it, you might even be able to guess what they look like. Hairy? Fried? Perpetually midshred? Yes, yes and hell yes. Since forming in 1995, Kawabata Makoto’s long-running collective of Japanese psychhounds has been channeling the resiny spirit of all the ’70s LPs in your dad’s collection that you might’ve been a little scared of as a kid. Their latest album, Holy Black Mountain Side, is named simultaneously for an Alejandro Jodorowsky movie and a Zeppelin instrumental. That’s about right. Polaris Hall, 628 N Killingsworth Court. 8 pm. $26.20. 21+.
