HEALTH TUESDAY
With humorous and heartfelt tracks like “I Got High” and “Walmart Parking Lot,” Clem Snide is your surefire winner for the evening. Local openers Heligoats are probably worth a look too, so show up early to Iota. 8:30 p.m., $14.
>> 9:30 Club: Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros, We Are Each Other featuring Aaron Embry. 7:00 p.m., sold out.
>> Black Cat Backstage: Endless Boogie, Arbouretum. 9:00 p.m., $10.
>> DC9: East Coast Caravan, Amber Dutton. 8:30 p.m., $8.
WEDNESDAY
The angsty Shat Shorts gets my pick for Wednesday based entirely on their amusing nom de guerre (on your eardrums). The relatively new group is composed of three-quarters of Monument and one-third of French Stewart. Scared Broncos and The Hounds open at the Velvet Lounge. 9:00 p.m., $8.
>> DC9: Math Panda, Kid Savant, The Honeyguns. 8:30 p.m., $8.
