MONDAY
>> This ain’t not J-Pop, we swear. If you want good old-fashioned Japanese rock ‘n’ roll (OK, it’s true, we don’t really know what that’s supposed to sound like either), The Captains from some place in Japan (the city name on their MySpace page uses Japanese characters) will drop by The Red & The Black tonight. They will be supported by Sugarcane Crawl, formerly known as Blues Hammer, and D.C.’s The Bourbon Dynasty. 9 p.m. $8.
>> If today’s anything like last night was, do whatever it takes to dig up a ticket to the 2nd night of Kings of Leon at the 9:30 Club.
TUESDAY 
>> Oooh, baby, we love his way. Peter Frampton will be at The Birchmere both Monday and Tuesday night. 7:30 p.m. Both nights. $75.
>> The Lost Bayou Ramblers, like the Pine Leaf Boys, are showing that Cajun dance music is not just made by over 50 folks for over 50 folks. These young Louisiana guys make accordion, fiddle, acoustic bass, and rhythm guitar led sounds for all ages. Hear ‘em and move to ‘em for free at 6 p.m. at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage.
>> Yeasayer @ Black Cat. Daytrotter.
WEDNESDAY
>> Wednesday night is a good night to break out the dancing shoes (and UFOs and glowsticks and whistles – actually we’ll beat you if you bring the whistles). Five is bringing in the drum and bass talents of LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad from across the pond. Local DJs and artists Bobby Jae, Locks of Intellect and Cakes will also be spinning. 9 p.m. $10.
>> For the dub step fans in the house, head over to Rock and Roll Hotel for a night of local EDM thanks to the talents of Barrios Bros., Mob Barley, Dan Amitai, Lycan and Wicked Sway. 9 p.m. $8.
>> Mixed feelings abound for Rilo Kiley’s latest album, Under the Black Light, but their live show should bring back some of their older, better, less live concert series.
