Caribou plays a sold-out show at the Rock and Roll Hotel tonight.

MONDAY
Not a whole lot of big, buzz-worthy shows this week, but Caribou kicks things off with a sold-out set at the Rock and Roll Hotel. Dan Snaith’s latest, Swim, seems to have already upped the ante from its spectacular predecessor, Andorra: its sitting at a cool #97 on Billboard’s Top 200. I’m calling it now: album of the summer, 2010. Toro y Moi opens. Doors at 8 p.m. Try here for tickets.

>> Black Cat Backstage: Slowgaze D.C. band Last Tide and Deustchmarks. $8, Doors at 9 p.m.

>> Iota Club and Cafe: Devon Sproule and the Young Republic with Ali Marcus. 8:30 p.m., $12.

TUESDAY
Have I been asleep or have the Buzzcocks been really off the radar lately, even with a kind of post-punk wave of revivalism going on? They’re at the Black Cat this week and playing their first two albums in their entirety. I’m on the fence about this entire albums trend, but seems like a pretty good chance to see how these guys are holding up thirty years on. With the Dollytrots. 8 p.m., $20.

Shelby Lynne’s gravel-road voice rubs some folks the wrong way, but for those that always thought Dusty Springfield’s smooth and soulful Americana could use a little rough edge won’t want to miss Lynne’s set at the Birchmere on Tuesday. Findlay Brown opens. 7:30 p.m., $25.

>> DC9: Gregory the Hawk, Frau Evra, and Wendell Kimbrough. 8:30 p.m., $8.

WEDNESDAY
>> Black Cat Backstage: Jookabox and Drunken Sufis. 9 p.m., $10.
