Weekend Music

Don’t call it a comeback, but the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies have a new album out (Susquehanna) after a nearly ten-year hiatus. The ’90s swing revival band plays two shows tonight at the Triple Door.

Seems like local quartet Lucy Bland play a show every weekend. Tonight the blip-happy electro-pop band are at the Comet, and coming up at the High Dive, they’re on the bill for the one of the many Noise for the Needy benefits next month. Here’s the story of the band:

Also playing two shows tonight is the truly green indie rock of Cloud Cult at Neumo’s. Their latest album (Feel Good Ghosts) was recorded at a wind-powered organic farm heated and cooled by geothermal energy. Last we heard, tix were still available for the 11pm show, though the link to buy on Neumo’s site doesn’t seem to be working.

Tomorrow night, hit up the Vera Project for Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. The fun-time electro-pop youngsters are sure to play songs from their forthcoming debut album Glistening Pleasure, out this summer.

And if you missed their laser show last month, Bay Area experimental hip hop freakouts Subtle are sure to bring the noise and/or the funk to Nectar.

Meanwhile, alt-country insurgents The Bottle Rockets celebrate their 15th anniversary at the Tractor.

Sunday night, Blake/e/e/e (pronounced “Blake-ie”) brings their little bit of everything to the Comet. They describe their sound as “a kaleidoscopic world of dub-laced folk with celestial drones, Sixties psychedelic space ballads, and post-punk anthems with world ethnic spirituals and alt-twang fusing in the semblance of Devendra Banhart, Devotchka, Beach Boys, Joy Division and Animal Collective.”

Or head to the Tractor for the alterna-hypnosis of L.A.’s Run Run Run.
