MONDAY

>> “It” band of the month Arctic Monkeys are headlining a sold-out show at the 9:30 Club with Delaware’s eccentric pop ensemble Spinto Band. Fear not, though. NPR.org is webcasting the show starting at 8:30 p.m. as part of its ever growing and always impressive concert series. So gather around the laptop with the kids, and listen to the latest “greatest U.K. rock band of all time” play in our very own backyard.

>> Quirky locals The Caribbean will be doing their thing at DC9 with D.C.’s Pagoda and zZz, an organ/drum duo from Amsterdam. It really makes you wonder how somebody in Amsterdam came up with the idea of an organ and drum duo. Jokes aside, expect to be blown away by what looks like a terrific lineup. $8.

>> The D.C. Music Community is presenting “From the Beltway to the Bayou” with Eric Hilton from Thievery Corporation, Kid Gusto and More. The benefit is part of a fundraiser by Habitat for Humanity International and New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity aimed at building housing for displaced New Orleans musicians. 5 p.m., Local 16, 1602 U Street NW.

TUESDAY

>> D.C.-based The Bonapartes join The Oranges Band at Black Cat’s backstage for a night of rock. Maybe it’s the flashbacks from our European history class talking, but we’d like to think that these bands were booked together to give history buffs a chuckle. $5, 9 p.m.

WEDNESDAY

>> If you miss New York-based new wave hipsters Stellastarr* and U.K.’s Editors (pictured) at the 9:30 Club at 7 p.m., catch the official after-party at DC9, hosted by Electrotease. Don’t forget to dress completely in black and maintain a permanent look of contemplation. Tickets to the 9:30 Club show are $15; the DC9 after party is $5. One lucky winner could be going to the show courtesy of DCist Kyle, if you know your stuff.
