MONDAY
>>No matter what era of rock history, there’s always a kick-ass two piece purveying some degree of “back to the roots” guitar-based and song-centric revivalism. Does it matter that, for Japandroids, those roots are in the early to mid-90s? I would argue that it does not. They headline a great triple bill at Rock and Roll Hotel tonight, alongside Scandinavian yelpy indie rockers Love is All and noisy locals Tennis System. Music starts at 8:30 p.m. $15.

>>Iota Club and Cafe: Civil Twilight with Reni Lane. Doors at 8:30 p.m. $12.

>>Verizon Center: Bon Jovi, 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $49.50 – $132.50

TUESDAY

>>The second most-famous Green Party Presidential candidate, the often controversial Jello Biafra, brings his latest project, the Guantanamo School of Medicine, to the Black Cat on Tuesday night. Joining them are Baltimore’s Sick Weapons and Boston taqwacore band the Kominas. Doors 8 p.m., $12.
