MONDAY
>> Do you like screamo? How about metalcore? Us neither, but if you do, get yourself to the 9:30 Club, for Underoath and similarly sinisterly-named Every Time I Die, Poison the Well, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, and Belle and Sebastian. Just kidding about the last one. 6 p.m., $18.
TUESDAY
>> Stevie Wonder needs no introduction. He’s coming to the Verizon Center today. Tickets start at $68, so get your wallet ready. 8 p.m.
>> We’re big fans of The Go! Team‘s multi-headed noise hydra, and they’re coming to fill the stage at the 9:30 Club the day before Halloween. Their new album, “Proof of Youth” is out, and stay tuned to DCist for an interview with the band’s rapper/dynamo, Ninja. 10 p.m., $15.
>> AIDS Wolf has one of the best, most ridiculous band names we can remember. The name fits, as they play completely nuts noise rock. They come to the Velvet Lounge with Old Time Relijun, which sounds like a more acoustic version of the Jon Spencer Blue Explosion, and Double Dagger, from Baltimore.
>> The Adams Morgan building fire had major effects for some local music folks, as former Galaxy Hut and current Black Cat employee Ann Jaeger and her boyfriend lived there. The Hut is hosting a benefit for them with Sons of Guns and local faves The Aquarium (***) playing. $5 suggested donation.
>> Say Hi (To Your Mom) play sometimes catchy, sometimes thoughtful, creative rock. They’re at the Black Cat’s Backstage with Philly’s supercatchy The A-Sides on their first nationwide tour, and The Velvet Teen. 9 p.m., $10.
>> Fans of Jimmy Eat World will tell you they’re more than just “The Middle.” They bring their big, not-quite-emo rock to the 9:30 Club this week. However, if you like them, you’d better hit Craigslist, as it’s sold out. Which is a shame, as we downloaded some Viva Voce the other day and really liked Kevin and Anita Robinson’s moody atmospherics contrasted with dueling vocals. 5:30 p.m., $15 (sold out).
