MONDAY
>> DC9 scoured the globe for tonight’s lineup. The Comas hail from Brooklyn and Chapel Hill and specialize in the darker shades of psychadelic rock. The Veils are here all the way from New Zealand, with some “if you like The White Stripes, you’ll love The Veils”-style blues-inspired rock. Locals Zulu Pearls round out the lineup with solid, basic, indie rock. We’re incapable of hearing their name without thinking of “Zuzu’s petals” from It’s a Wonderful Life, but maybe that’s just us. $10, 9:30 p.m.
>> D.C. pop-noir purveyors Exit Clov hit the Iota Club for the start of a two week tour through the Northeast and Midwest. They’re bringing along the Rilo Kiley-esque The Eames Era, out of Baton Rouge, who have polled extremely well with bloggers and record store clerks so far and appear ready for a breakout. Joining them in the opening slot are local roots-poppers The Beanstalk Library. 8:30 p.m. $10.
>> NPR described Elvis Perkins’ songs as masterful, graceful and tender. Let us know what you think of the star of Psycho‘s son (pictured) after his solo set tonight at the Birchmere.
>> The Westminster Church at 400 Eye street SW has been known for its Friday Jazz programs. Recently it added “Blue Monday” to their calendar. Tonight’s early evening show features locals Clarence Turner & Charlie Sayles.
TUESDAY
>> The Woggles very 60s garage rock comes to DC9 this week. We’d expect nothing less from a band on garage fan Little Steven’s new label, Wicked Cool Records. With locals The Points and The Hall Monitors. $8 in advance/$10 at the door.
