TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12

Four sisters make up Australian doom rock band Stonefield, which spent much of this year opening for the eccentric and electric King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Stonefield’s music is often heavy and psychedelic—mosh pits are not uncommon at shows—with singer/drummer Amy Findlay’s vocals occasionally cutting through the noise. Pie Shop. 8 p.m. doors. $15. All ages, inaccessible venue.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13

The cover of Black Mountain’s new album Destroyer looks like one of those lost classics you’d find in a record store bargain bin: A large speaker sits on a shoreline, waves crashing with a massive rock structure in the distance. The Canadian band’s music lives up to the cover with shades of heavy metal riffs, pounding drums and synth-led psychedelia. Freewheeling indie-rock guitarist Ryley Walker opens. Black Cat. 7:30 p.m. doors. $20. All ages, accessible venue.

Roots rock revivalists North Mississippi Allstars—led by brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson—recruited Mavis Staples and Jason Isbell for new album Up and Rolling. Staples duets with Luther on the blues rocker “What You Gonna Do?” while Isbell appears on “Mean Old World,” a song the Dickinsons’ father, producer Jim Dickinson, once recorded with Eric Clapton and Duane Allman. The Hamilton. 6:30 p.m. doors. 7:30 p.m. show. $25-$30. All ages, accessible venue.

To say British quartet Black Midi makes challenging music would be an understatement. There’s little in the way of hooks to be found on the band’s fast-paced debut, “Schlagenheim,” which hops across genres—punk, prog, noise, avant garde experimentalism and more—as Geordie Greep snarls, talks, wails, and (occasionally) sings. U Street Music Hall. 7 p.m. doors. $18. All ages, accessible venue.

Rockabilly icons Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly didn’t rise from the dead on Halloween and immediately hop back on tour, but you can “see” the pair perform at Strathmore on Wednesday (hallucinogens not required). How is this possible? The power of holograms, which will reanimate the “Pretty Woman” and “Peggy Sue” singers while a live band of actual humans plays the music. 7:30 p.m. show. $58-$68. All ages, accessible venue.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14

Lalah Hathaway hasn’t tried to distance herself from her famous father, soul singer Donny Hathaway, earning a Grammy in 2016 for covering his 1972 hit “Little Ghetto Boy.” But she has carved a place for herself in R&B and gospel music, winning five Grammys and collaborating with Snarky Puppy, Robert Glasper, and Anderson .Paak along the way. Her most recent album, Honesty, dropped in 2017. Howard Theatre. 7:30 & 10 p.m. shows. $59.50-$65. All ages, accessible venue.

The Band’s Martin Scorsese-directed farewell concert film The Last Waltz is often heralded as the best concert documentary of all time and a fine Thanksgiving movie, at that. The all-star concert (featuring Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and more) took place on Thanksgiving in 1976 and guests were served a full dinner before the show. You’ll have to grab your own dinner before The Last Waltz Tour rolls into the Theater at MGM National Harbor this week. The show features two sets of music culled from The Last Waltz performed by Gov’t Mule’s Warren Haynes, country rocker Jamey Johnson, A Star is Born songwriter Lukas Nelson, jazz keyboardist John Medeski, and producer/bassist Don Was. 8 p.m. show. $28-$113. All ages, accessible venue.

After making annual trips to Gypsy Sally’s over the years, Matt Butler’s ever-rotating Everyone Orchestra will make one last stop in Georgetown before the venue closes in January. Butler, who “conducts” his ensemble through improvisations based on words or themes, has assembled a band for this show that includes pedal-steel guitarist Robert Randolph, Ween drummer Claude Coleman Jr., and Living Colour singer-guitarist Vernon Reid. 7 p.m. doors. 8 p.m. show. $25-$27. 21+, accessible space. 

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15

A health scare for lead singer Julia Shapiro put Chastity Belt on hiatus in 2018, but the quartet returned in September with their fourth album, a self-titled release co-produced by Jay Som. Full of lush, dreamy, and jangly indie-rock, the album also has a very tranquil vibe, perhaps best typified on opener “Ann’s Jam.” U Street Music Hall. 7 p.m. doors. $15. All ages, accessible venue.

Virginia Tech alum Jack Tatum started Wild Nothing in his Blacksburg, Va., dorm room a decade ago, forging a dreamy bedroom pop sound (the ethereal “Live in Dreams” was his first big single). His latest album as Wild Nothing, last year’s Indigo, takes that sound out of the bedroom and into a Los Angeles studio, fully fleshing (and filling) out his ’80s-indebted indie rock. 9:30 Club. 8 p.m. doors. $25. All ages, accessible venue.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16

With songs like “Deadbeat Summer” and “Should Have Taken Acid With You,” Neon Indian was at the forefront of indie’s lo-fi chillwave movement that dominated blogs at the start of the decade. On 2015’s Vega Intl. Night School, frontman Alan Palomo merged the more disco-y pop sound of his other project, Vega, with Neon Indian. Palomo has been quiet since then, barely releasing any new music, so Saturday’s show at 9:30 Club may offer a taste of where he’s heading next. 8 p.m. doors. $30. All ages, accessible venue. 

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17

Chicago rapper Lil Durk—the leader and founder of the hip-hop collective Only the Family—released the mixtape Love Songs 4 the Streets 2 over the summer. Unlike many of his peers, Durk’s lyrics show a sobering side of hip-hop, one where Durk raps about starting to wonder what to make of his career, which hasn’t quite made him the mainstream success he’d hoped when he signed to Def Jam years ago. Fillmore Silver Spring. 7 p.m. doors. 8 p.m. show. $45-$100. All ages, accessible venue.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18

Los Angeles-based trio Tennis System followed up September’s Lovesick—on which the band builds a wall of noise reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless—with the even heavier Part Time Punks Session II on Halloween. Together, the two releases give the band plenty of heavy, dreamy songs to pull from at DC9. (As the band’s Twitter bio suggests, bring earplugs.) 7:30 p.m. doors. 8 p.m. show. $10-$12. All ages, inaccessible space.
