WEDNESDAY:
>> Three fun options tonight: There’s whimsical folkrocker Robyn Hitchcock at the Black Cat; Powerpop trio Lemonface, who are all of, like, 40 years old combined, play Jammin Java (check out some tracks here); and one of the pioneering alt-country rockers, Rodney Crowell, takes the stage at the Barns of Wolf Trap.
THURSDAY:

FRIDAY:
>> Tonight and Saturday Interpol have sold-out shows at the 9:30 Club. But worry not! After the show on Saturday, DC9 is yet again holding an afterparty; Electrotease hosts a DJ night, featuring a set from Interpol bassist Carlos D. $5.
