Ministry, Chelsea Wolfe, The God Bombs
Those old-school goths rushing to the Roseland to witness the classic industrial metal of Ministry (because after all, every day is Halloween) should not miss out on the new-school sludgy darkness of Chelsea Wolfe. Now six excellent albums in to her career, Wolfeâs angelic voice rises from the pits of hell in an unstoppable wave of gothic heavy metal (with help from instrumentalist Ben Chisolm). Armed with smart, esoteric lyrics and a multi-layered sound, Wolfe piles on the dirge with beautiful, elegant ferocity. WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
8 pm, Roseland, $28.50-40

Re-run Theater: Woman Power 6
This monthâs tribute to classic television honors pop culture of the past, and its noble attempts to present images of empowered women on the small screen with a triple feature that starts in Sid & Marty Krofftâs whacked-out â70s imaginarium with Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, before dancing into the â80s with the truly outrageous syndicated cartoon Jem and the Holograms, and shin-nin-nin-nin-nin-ning back into the â70s for an episode of The Bionic Woman with special guest star Helen Hunt, playing a wayward extra-terrestrial who just happens to always have a squinty, sour look on her face no matter what. Part of the Hollywood Theatreâs Feminist March film series. BOBBY ROBERTS
7:30 pm, Hollywood Theatre, $7-9
Cool American, Gillian Frances, Post Moves
Thereâs little doubt that late â90s indie, emo, and punk crews helped shape Cool American, but that doesnât mean those specters should define the Portland band. Their first two records melded Nathan Tuckerâs smart pop songwriting with lethargic observational malaise, making hook-heavy tracks like âWhoâs Got the Next Cut?â (from 2016âs You Can Win a Few) feel eerily bleak. On the four-pieceâs new record, Infinite Hiatus, they double down on the peppiness, scorching through fast-paced punk and Malkmus-esque cleverness, echoing the tempo shifts of a Sidekicks tune, and invoking the twitchy peaks and valleys of millennial boredom. RYAN J. PRADO
8 pm, Turn! Turn! Turn!
