MONDAY
>> Although the term “supergroup” has some dubious connotations of potentially sub-par music, School of Language, featuring David Brewis of Field Music, Ryan Rapsys of Euphone, and Doug McCombs of Tortoise, has come out with songs like “Rockist Part 1” which make us happy. They’ll be at DC9 with Medications and Go Home Robot. 9 p.m. $10.

>> Low key alt-country is the fare tonight at the Black Cat, with locals Fairline Parkway, Sean McArdle and Kitty Hawk playing the Backstage. 9 p.m. $8.

>> Punk legends The Pogues appear for the second night of their sold out run at the 9:30 Club. For those still desperate to get into the show, there’s always Craigslist. 7 p.m.

TUESDAY
>> Anyone sufficiently impressed by Pogues openers The Urban Voodoo Machine (or anyone sufficiently angry that they missed those shows) can catch the dark liquor-soaked sea shanties and gypsy ballads at their encore performance at Red and the Black. 9 p.m. $10.

>> Baltimore’s Wzt Hearts bring their brand of experimental trance-like noise to the Black Cat Backstage. Wow, an experimental noisy act from Baltimore, imagine that. The Methamphetamines and Wealth open. 9 p.m. $8.

>> Alt-country power trio The Moderate should help assuage (at least a little bit) anyone still bitter that they missed the sold out Wilco shows a couple weeks ago. Distortion-laden folk rockers The Mikal Evans Band open the show at DC9. 8:30 p.m. $8.

>> Soulful siren Jill Scott has the sort of voice that can melt even the hardest of hearts into soft chewy caramel. Tuesday is her first of two nights at D.A.R. Constitution Hall. $57-$84. 8 p.m.
