Of Montreal
How to describeĀ Of Montreal? No, Iām really asking, because I haveĀ no idea: Veering and spinning between electronica, indie, prog, psychedelia, and pop, the bandāfounded by and fronted by the inimitableĀ Kevin Barnesānever settles into a single groove, instead always roving and experimenting to find new, better ones. Their live shows are just as unpredictable, just as fun, and just as clever. (8:30 pm, Wonder Ballroom, $18-20, all ages) ERIK HENRIKSEN
Johanna Warren, Trenti, Book of Colors, Forest Veil

Troye Sivan, Kim Petras, Carlie Hanson
Itās not often you see a young gay artist singing his truth and openly promoting his LGBTQ status in his music videos, which is why paying attention to the talented Troye Sivan is a good idea. The Australian singer/actor/YouTube star has been making big waves online with a string of out-and-proud pop bangers, such as the emotionally and erotically charged āMy My My,ā āBloom,ā and radio hit āWild.ā Sivanās voice is smooth and soothing, but more importantly, it achesāfilled with yearning and honesty, heās refreshingly unafraid to be a man who exposes his feelings (which we need a billion more examples of in this toxic world). While his songs may be emotionally raw, Sivan pulls the fancy trick of also making them ear-buggy and entirely danceable. Jump on the Troye train now, because you definitely do not want to be left behind. (7:30 pm, Roseland, $66, all ages) WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY

(7:30 pm, Ellyn Bye Studio at the Armory, $10)
