The Flaming Lips are at Merriweather Post Pavilion on Friday. MONDAY
>> Justin Moyer performs as his alter-ego, Edie Sedgwick, tonight. The Three Stars alum’s shows are unusual to say the least, but also interesting: the Black Cat described her as “Le Tigre meets Black Flag for an irony-free dance party with a tranny Milton Berle as MC!” 9 p.m., $8.
TUESDAY
>> The Black Crowes are still kicking out the blues, covering older songs and writing their own could-be-cover new ones. They’re at Wolf Trap’s Filene Center with openers Truth & Salvage Company, described as the “authentic sound of classic American rock ’n’ roll.” 8 p.m., $25/$42.
WEDNESDAY
>> Former members of two drummer, two guitarist cult faves Hockey Night form Free Energy, who are playing at the Black Cat’s Backstage tonight. They’re signed to DFA, but rather than cowbells and dance punk, they play sunny guitar rock. They’re joined by Bear in Heaven and Buildings. 8 p.m., $10.
>>If you prefer another kind of sunny, check out Loggins and Messina at Wolf Trap. We’re guessing they’ll play “Your Mama Don’t Dance,” plus maybe Loggins solo hits like “Footloose” and “Danger Zone.” Shirtless volleyball and Kevin Bacon probably not included. Gabe Dixon Band opens. 8 p.m., $30/$42
