MUSIC—If you want to witness a room overcome with a roof-raising combo of punk, funk, and soul, rest your eyes upon the joy that is Magic Mouth. And just when you think you’ve sweated all of the moisture out of your body, they turn it around with a slow jam to make you sweat in a different way. Don’t miss ’em. WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
w/Swahili; Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi, 9 pm, $10

MUSIC—The modern, moody sounds and angular haircuts of Phantogram make for a stylish good time. Of course it’s not all fashion; they’ve got songwriting chops for miles (just try to get “Mouthful of Diamonds” out of your head once it’s in there) and a polished, powerful live show that delivers. Because nobody wears leather pants to fail. MARJORIE SKINNER
w/Wild Ones; Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside, 8 pm, sold out (wearing leather pants should help), all ages
