Autolux performs at Rock & Roll Hotel on Friday.

Tuesday

Junior Boys, Jessy Lanza, Borys @ Black Cat. 7:30 P.M. $18. All ages, accessible venue.

Canadian electronic duo Junior Boys keep getting better with each record. The band’s first album Last Exit, from 2004, was an icy R&B delight. As time went on, the band incorporated sounds from disco, house, and Detroit techno. With the band’s latest record, Big Black Coat, released in February, Junior Boys has made its catchiest effort yet. Tonight’s opener, Jessy Lanza, is also on a hot streak. Lanza is known for experimental R&B produced with her co-conspirator Jeremy Greenspan, one half of Junior Boys. Her latest effort Oh No, coming this May, is bolder than her 2013 debut in every way, seeing Lanza expand her palate with vocal manipulation and incorporating more polyrhythmic sounds. Both Big Black Coat and Oh No share similar traits, so it is a perfect pairing for these acts to be on tour with each other.

>>Rock & Roll Hotel: Basia Bulat and Twin Limb. 7 P.M. $12. All ages, accessible venue.

Wednesday

>>Howard Theatre: Living Colour. 7:30 P.M. $25-$60. All ages, accessible venue.

>>Black Cat: Chad Valley, Blackbird Blackbird, Brett. 7:30 P.M. $12. All ages, accessible venue.

Thursday

The DMAs, Cold Fronts @ Black Cat. 7:30 P.M. $12. All ages, accessible venue.

Australian trio, and noted bucket hat enthusiasts, The DMAs is a band from a different time. The band makes syrupy Brit-Pop songs that sound like they were frozen in amber. Not many groups are mining that sound, so it leaves The DMAs in a position of holding the torch and catching a whole lot of shit from Noel Gallagher. After a well received EP, the band’s debut album arrived in February. The NME has already jumped on the bandwagon, so could Brit-Pop come back?

>>Songbyrd Music House & Record Café: Show Me the Body, Wifigawd, Gump, NappyNappa. 7:30 P.M. $12. All ages, inaccessible venue.

Friday

Autolux, Eureka the Butcher @ Rock & Roll Hotel. 8 P.M. $16. All ages, accessible venue.

L.A.’s Autolux has been a band since 2001, but is slow to release music. The group is made up of a trio of lifers including singer/drummer Carla Azar, guitarist Greg Edwards (also of the band Failure), and lead singer/bassist Eugene Goreshter. After the release of the band’s first record, 2004’s Future Perfect and subsequent tours, the band seemingly disappeared, leading some to believe they had broken up. Instead, after a needed break, the band released their second record Transit Transit in 2010. On schedule with six years behind each album, Autolux is set to release its third album, PUSSY’S DEAD, on Friday, and the band’s show at Rock & Roll Hotel serves as a de facto record release party. Like previous albums, PUSSY’S DEAD is made up of crushingly loud rock with psychedelic flourishes. The live show is where Autolux shines. As the good as the records are, the songs are even stronger live. This show is not to be missed.

>>Comet Ping Pong: Tijuana Panthers, Shirt/Pants. 10 P.M. $12. All ages, accessible venue.

Saturday

Tobacco, Lord Raja @ U Street Music Hall. 7 P.M. $20. All ages, accessible venue.

Thomas Fec, better known as Tobacco is the ringleader of the psychedelic group Black Moth Super Rainbow. When he isn’t melting faces with his band, he steps out alone making electronic noise music that teeters the line between harsh and accessible. Fec blends music from all genres and adds highly manipulated vocals on top that resemble howls of the un-dead. Tobacco might be most well-known for his song “Stretch Your Face,” the theme to HBO’s Silicon Valley. While some of his tracks are steeped in harsh noise, a good majority of them are dance-y and fun.

>>The Pinch: Murphy’s Law, Ache, Copstabber, Unabomber, The Screws. 8 P.M. $15. All ages, inaccessible venue.

Sunday

Frankie Cosmos, Eskimeaux, and Anna McClellan @ DC9 7:30. P.M. Sold-Out. All ages, inaccessible venue.

Frankie Cosmos is the project of Greta Kline, who in recent years has made the move from the bedroom to a proper studio. Frankie Cosmos deals in short twee tracks that are ear-worm catchy. While each record is better than the last, Next Thing, which drops on Friday, is one of the best albums of the year thus far. Eskimeaux, too have been on a roll since the release of O.K. last year. Like Frankie Cosmos, Eskimeaux has made the transition from a bedroom pop act to fleshed-out studio recordings. The pairing up of these two acts isn’t a coincidence, as both Kline and Eskimeaux’s Gabrielle Smith are good friends.

>>Rock & Roll Hotel: Young Fathers, HXLT, Laughing Man. 8 P.M. $15. All ages, accessible venue.

>>Black Cat: Laura Stevenson, Crying, Chris Farren. 7:30 P.M. $13. All ages, accessible venue.
