MONDAY

Where Is Home, the forthcoming second album by eclectic sonic experimentalists Janel and Anthony, is definitely something to look forward to in early 2011. In the meantime, head to Galaxy Hut tonight to watch the duo showcase their mesmeric improvisations on guitar and cello. Local folk-rockers Frau Eva open. $5. 9 p.m.

>> The Birchmere: Shelby Lynne, Allison Moorer. $35. 7 p.m.
>> 9:30 Club: Brandon Flowers, Transfer. Sold out. 7 p.m.

TUESDAY

The recently-opened Red Palace hosts a strong lineup, headlined by jaggedly-melodic Canadian noise-rockers PS I Love You. Show up early (and bring earplugs) to hear local shoegaze standouts Tennis System unleash their formidable sheets of sound. Floridian avant-pop combo Holiday Shores complete the bill. $10. 8:30 p.m.

>> Iota: Victoria Vox, Ted Garber, Margot MacDonald. $12. 8:30 p.m.
>> 9:30 Club: Sam Adams, LA Riots. $20. 7 p.m.
