PRE-GIFT—Quick, before you’re trapped with family! Get out your last good-time kicks with AgesandAges, whose giddily upbeat sing- and clap-alongs are better than any Christmas choir. They may play a few new songs as well, as they’re working on a new record—plus Old Light’s strum-heavy tunes are no slouch in the rock ‘n’ roll department. NL

STONED WEREWOLF
—On the day before the day before Christmas our very own Magi arrive, to gift us their versions of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The Sex Life DJs (Vision Quest and Stoned Werewolf) spin whatever funky mess necessary to lead us all to that sweaty dance floor electric bugaloo promised land. SS
Valentine’s, 232 SW Ankeny, 9 pm, FREE
