Those Darlins plays the Rock n’ Roll Hotel on Saturday on their farewell tour.

MONDAY

All Dogs, Florist, Snail Mail @ Comet Ping Pong 9 p.m. $12. All ages accessible venue.

All Dogs‘ fantastic debut record Kicking Every Day was the work of a band who took a couple of years to find their sound. Frontwoman Maryn Jones also plays in the band Saintseneca and her own solo project Yowler, and both of those bands also released records last year taking up all of Jones’s time. Now Jones, in between Saintseneca tours, is ready to take All Dogs back on the road. Hype band Florist opens the show and are sure to have a big year after the release of their debut album The Birds Outside Sang this January.

>> 9:30 Club: Troye Sivan, Shamir 7 p.m. Sold Out. All ages accessible venue.

TUESDAY

Blanck Mass and Br’er @ DC9
8:30 p.m. $15. All ages inaccessible venue.

Benjamin John Power is one half of noise makers Fuck Buttons, but while he isn’t making mind bending music with his partner Andrew Hung he records under the alias Blanck Mass. Power’s first Blanck Mass record was released after Fuck Button’s second record Tarot Sport, and he took four years to follow it up with a second in last year’s Dumb Flesh. The tracks are noisy but some are danceable like Fuck Button’s still amazing Slow Focus.

>> U Street Music Hall: Bag Raiders and Plastic Plates 7 p.m. $20. All ages accessible venue.

WEDNESDAY

Porches, Alex G, and Your Friend @ Rock and Roll Hotel 7 p.m. $13.50. All ages accessible venue.

Both Porches and Alex G have been getting a lot of hype in blog circles as of late. Porches just released Pool, the band’s first for the label Domino, just like Alex G, who released Beach Music last year on Domino. Both bands upgraded from the bedroom to a real studio, but their music is different. Where Alex G is rooted in rock, Porches is more synth-pop, even recalling chillwave. You can lose yourself in both bands’ records, and their live show is sure to be just as good.

>> Black Cat: Des Demonas, Scanners, and Dirt City 7:30 p.m. $10. All ages accessible venue.

THURSDAY

Mass Gothic, Sunflower Bean, and Sealab @ Black Cat 7:30 p.m. $12. All ages accessible venue.

The world lost a great band when space rockers Hooray for Earth called it quits in 2014, but members have returned with new projects. One of those is Mass Gothic, the Sub Pop-signed band led by Hooray For Earth singer Noel Heroux. While it is hard to not compare the two bands, Mass Gothic is a departure for Heroux, relying less on guitars and more on synths. Mass Gothic’s tracks shape shift and are unpredictable. Where one could be a spacey electronic song, there are pure pop gut punches like single “Every Night You’ve Got to Save Me.” The self-titled record feels like an album with a lot of studio tinkering and perfection, so it is will be interesting to see how Heroux translates it live.

>> Rock and Roll Hotel: Shearwater, Cross Record 7 p.m. $14. All ages accessible venue.

>> U Street Music Hall: Hinds, Goodbye Honolulu 7 p.m. $15. All ages accessible venue

FRIDAY

>>Rock and Roll Hotel: Mount Moriah, Skylar Gudasz 8 p.m. $12. All ages accessible venue.

>>Comet Ping Pong: The Snails (members of Future Islands), 83 Cutlass, Other Colors, playbackthetape. 10 P.M. $12. All ages accessible venue.

>> DC9: Nap Eyes and Cian Nugent 6:30 p.m. $10. All ages inaccessible venue.

>> U Street Music Hall: Banners, The Moth & The Flame, POP ETC 7 p.m. $15. All ages accessible venue.

SATURDAY

HTC, Cat Jack @ Black Cat 9 p.m. $10. All ages accessible venue.

HTC (Hard to Control) are a 12(!!) member band formed by students of Washington Lee High School. They make a mix of hip-hop and jazz, much like what Chance the Rapper experimented with on Surf. Though high school bands can be dubious, this one has the chops. They don’t have releases yet, but you can find full live performances on YouTube to get you amped.

SUNDAY

Those Darlins, Idle Bloom, and Grey A @ Rock and Roll Hotel 7 p.m. $12. All ages accessible venue.

Nashville’s Those Darlins have been playing music since 2006, and now, a decade in, the band is calling it quits with a farewell tour. While their roots are in country, the band put an alternative spin with louder, crunchier guitars a la Dinosaur Jr., mixing them with girl-group melodies. Over three albums and a couple of EPs, the band matured into an unstoppable force. There aren’t a lot of bands like Those Darlins, so they will be well missed.
