Monday
>> If you’re not a Springsteen fan, the place to be Monday night is the Black Cat for an evening of dance-punk. Kentucky’s VHS or Beta (pictured) are supporting the recent release of Bring on the Comets along with Los Angeles’ Moving Units, whose catchy 2004 single “Between Us and Them” is reason enough get you up and moving. Local favorites Soft Complex will be opening. $13, 8 p.m.
Tuesday
>> The Austin Chronicle says that The Black‘s first full length album “…breathes new life into Americana with tinges of rockabilly, Stax soul, and ramshackle folk on Tanglewood.” These southern rockers will be at, coincidentally,The Red and The Black tonight in support of their Donna EP with The High Ballers and The Starlingtons. $8, 9:30 p.m.
>> Debbie Harry, better know as the front woman for the 70s new wave sensation Blondie, will be stopping by the 9:30 Club tonight. Her latest and sixth solo album, Necessary Evil, came out last month. Almost 30 years later and she is still going strong with her first single “Two Times Blue.” $35, 10 p.m.
>> Ten years after the debut of Becoming X, British electropop-rockers Sneaker Pimps founder Chris Corner is back to bring some closure to the title with his latest project IAMX. Check out some behind the scenes video of his tour here, and check him out live at the Black Cat with Hollowboy. $12, 9 p.m.
