MONDAY
>> This is a grand week for Three Stars Alums. First up, we have the magical lyrics of new-wave pop rockers LeJeune(***) playing D.C.’s beloved Fort Reno Park. Also playing tonight are Pup Tent and Engine Room. Show starts at 7:15 p.m., free.
>> Next in line, take in the Dischord-influenced sounds of Cataract Camp (***) as they play the backstage at the Black Cat. Back in 2006, we predicted that this band would continue to grow into their sound — which matches palatable rock with intense noise — and considering their bump into a headlining slot, sounds like they might have succeeded. The Ear The Ear The Arm and The Narrator open. 9 p.m., $8.
TUESDAY
>> The minds behind the hit music video that is currently making waves online and on MTV (yes, apparently they still play these) and features original cast members from The Karate Kid, will be playing at Jammin’ Java tonight. Ralph Macchio won’t be there, but with “Sweep the Leg,” No More Kings can channel everyone’s inner champion. They open for You, Me and Everyone We Know and Lorien. 7:30 p.m., $10.
WEDNESDAY
>> We happily present to you our second free event of the week: Baltimore’s DJ Karizma will be spinning a mix of house, soul and hip-hop, along with DJ Soul and Mr. E at Club Five. 9 p.m.- 5 a.m.
