Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s Alec Ounsworth performs tonight at DC9. MONDAY
>> Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s Alec Ounsworth apparently has more songs in him than one, or even two bands can contain, as he released two records this year outside the confines of CYHSY. One was a solo record, and the other a record recorded with a number of other Philly musicians under the name of Flashy Python. Both of those projects will hit the stage at DC9 tonight. $12, 8:30 p.m.
>> The Federal Reserve Collective has been one of the area’s most exciting musical mainstays for some time now. The boys of the Fed told DCist that the affiliation started as a get-together one night in Mark Charles Heidinger (Vandaveer)’s living room that soon migrated over to the Wonderland Ballroom — near where Fed fellow Jesse Elliott was living at the time. The session migrated to Iota a couple years back. The first Monday of every month, an ever-widening collection of alt-country talent took the stage, shifting lineups, playing whatever they feel like, and showing off the incredible musical talent this city has to offer. In that time the event has seen Brandon Butler, Laura Burhenn, members of Revival, members of Shortstack, members of These United States, and many others musicians play together under the Federal Reserve Collective banner. Tonight is the final installment, and members of These United States, A. Mason, Eureka Birds and many more will blow out the series in style. Don’t miss it. $5, 8 p.m.
>> Winnipeg rockers Inward Eye are a long way from home tonight at the Red and the Black, with Nico Vega and Neon Trees opening. $10, 8:30 p.m.
>> As we mentioned in last week’s Hip-Hop agenda, Raphael Saadiq is coming to the 9:30 Club. $35, 7 p.m.
TUESDAY
>> It should come as no surprise that mega-popular Brits the Arctic Monkeys sold out their 9:30 club show this week. Jersey punkers Screaming Females are opening, though in the interest of truth in advertising, we should point out that the band includes only one female, and we’re not certain how much screaming she actually does. Prices on Craigslist are still looking pretty inflated ($75 and up), so you might be better off looking for tickets at the door rather than giving the bloodsucking scalpers the satisfaction. 7 p.m.
>> Three Stars alums The Moderate headline the backstage of the Black Cat, with Boston veterans Choo Choo La Rouge and Timothy Bracy’s Collection Agency, featuring former members of the Mendoza Line. $8, 9 p.m.
