MONDAY
>> Fiending for some good ol’ bluegrass and Americana? San Francisco’s The Pine Box Boys will be delivering just that at the Red and the Black tonight. With two drinks tonight, you’ll also be served free beans and rice. We suggest some whiskey to wash it all down. Or, The Whale and Revival open. 9:30 p.m., $8.
>>Enjoy the slightly cooler weather by taking in Georgie James, Perfect Souvenir and Brandon Butler at Fort Reno. Show starts promptly at 7:15, Free.
>> Take in the Bottle Rockets‘ eclectic American music at Iota. 8:30 p.m., $13.
TUESDAY
>> Not to be confused with Jane Fonda’s movie about a dance marathon, Vancouver’s rock collective They Shoot Horses Don’t They? play experimental indie/folk/freak music that has been receiving some pretty contradictory press. Ostinato and Karate Bear open for them at the Black Cat. Backstage 9 p.m., $8.
WEDNESDAY
>> Reportedly A Place To Bury Strangers is “unlike anything you’ve ever heard,” and we hope that the speakers in the backstage at the Black Cat do this trio’s loud psychedelic surf music justice. Airiel opens. 9 p.m., $7.
>> If you miss Georgie James on Monday, check out their acoustic set at DC9 tonight during the ShervinFoto Book Release Party. Shervin Lainez’ Happy Accidents documents 25 D.C. bands over the past 2 years. The book comes with a compilation CD or 12 tracks from 12 bands in the book.
