MUSIC—Ah, springtime! Fleeting armistice where every phylum takes up the dance of interspecies harmony! It’s the same deal with tonight’s De La Spring Happening, a blowout tribute to this most fecund season bringing together Máscaras‘ psych rock, the desert dirges of Ohioan, bemasked DJ sets, and much, much more. DIRK VANDERHART
w/Down Gown, Smokey Kingdom, Bozart, and more; Holocene, 1001 SE Morrison, 8:30 pm, $4-8
MUSIC—Let’s feel things! Jeremy Enigk, formerly of Sunny Day Real Estate, is oft credited as the progenitor of emo. Makes sense. The man’s emotional resonance, soaring vocals, and orchestral aesthetic reach mile-high heights of indie songwriting. He’s touring with Mark Nichols, who worked on Enigk’s 1996 debut solo album, the masterful Return of the Frog Queen. COURTNEY FERGUSON
w/Jen Wood, Mark Nichols and the Everexpanding Experience Machine, Hip Hatchet; Hawthorne Theatre, 1507 SE César E. Chávez, 8 pm, $12-15, all ages
