We thought we’d share this photo of Jemina Pearl from Be Your Own Pet at the 9:30 Club last night, opening up for Arctic Monkeys. If you missed out on the show, there’s plenty of live music to choose from tonight.
>> Swedish garage rock band Mando Diao are known for their combustive live shows as much as their music: super catchy ’60s power pop twinged with a hint of dirt. They’ve won awards galore in their native land, including best live act in the country and a Swedish Grammy. Check them out tonight at the Black Cat with the eccentric Pop Levi and The Films. 8 p.m., $12.
>> Impossibly cool Brits Ladytron will perform a DJ set at Rock and Roll Hotel tonight. $15 is a bit much to pay for Thursday night dance party, but it just might be worth it. 9 p.m.
>> A solid local line-up can be found at DC9 with Three Stars alum New Rock Church of Fire, along with Diacritical and Nunchucks. $8, 9 p.m.
>> Grammy Award-nominated West African singer Angelique Kidjo performs at GWU’s Lisner Auditorium at 8 p.m. $25–40.
