Matt & Kim, The Knocks, Good Samaritan
Indie- and dance pop isn’t my typical area of musical enjoyment, nor do I seek it out in a live setting. So I consider it a fateful blessing that I had nothing better to do during Matt and Kim’s set at Capitol Hill Block Party 2014. After stumbling upon the Brooklyn duo/couple’s performance, I quickly deduced that Matt Johnson (vocals/keyboards) and Kim Schifino (drums) bring an insane amount of energy to their bubbly live sets and are some of the most expressive onstage musicians I’ve come across. The duo took a hiatus in 2017 (after Schifino’s ACL injury), but now they’re back on tour on the strength of their new album Almost Everyday. Don’t miss ’em.

Pinback, Morricone Youth
Pinback’s pristine compositions are clockwork marvels, stunning little contraptions powered by the kind of magic that only gets more impressive as one’s critical eye moves closer. Rob Crow and Armistead Burwell Smith IV have written a number of mixtape-ready crushers made for post-breakup moldering, songs that drop from the brain into the heart, but the duo’s chilly precision has a way of banishing the murk and muck of a good wallow before everything gets too maudlin. It’s a joy to bear witness to the impossibly smooth interplay between Crow and Smith, their voices and guitars bound up like soulmates, each song a testament to human connection.

B-Movie Bingo: Virtuosity
Your monthly opportunity to literally check off a bingo card full of B-movie clichés! This month: '90s Hollywood handled the emergence of the internet with all the skill and grace of a drunk octopus, but director Brett Leonard was maybe its most inept online visionary. In 1992 he crafted one of the dumbest, ugliest, most unintentionally hilarious movies of the decade by burying Pierce Brosnan and Jeff Fahey under 15 tons of lo-res ridiculousness called The Lawnmower Man. Because the film industry is like the exact opposite of a meritocracy, Paramount let him make another movie about virtual reality and the internet, and guess what? He buried Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe under another 15 tons of lo-res dogshit called Virtuosity, which is essentially a ripoff of Demolition Man but without any of that film's satire, color, charm, or action. It may lack as a work of art when it comes to things like coherence or skill, but you will see young Russell Crowe's naked, shiny ass. (7:30 pm, Hollywood Theatre, $7-9) BOBBY ROBERTS
