MONDAY
>> Swedish indie popsters Peter Bjorn and John will play a sold out show at the 9:30 Club, accompanied by the “triple keyboard action” of Brooklyn’s Au Revoir Simone. Honestly, if they promised triple “keytar” action, we would sell our souls for tickets.
>> The Alphabetical Order and Summerbirds in the Cellar bring on the rock at DC9. $8
TUESDAY
>> Embarrassing secret #12. An ex-girlfriend once dragged us to a Third Eye Blind show and we actually enjoyed it. Yes. We know. Anyway, if you want to relive those glory days of radio-friendly fluff, accompanied by some admittedly impressive guitar work, the boys who can’t wait to graduate are going to be at the 9:30 Club with The Upwelling. Tickets are sold out.
WEDNESDAY
>> D.C.’s very own The Breakups bring their brand of garage rock to the Black Cat with The Public Good in tow. $5, backstage 9 p.m.
>> Yet another Swedish import, Suburban Kids With Biblical Names, will grace D.C. with its presence. They’ll be playing at the Red and the Black with two bands with less clever names, The Living Blue and Child Bite. Child Bite?! C’mon guys. You’re not even trying! $8
