(See review.) Performance by this ensemble comprising musicians from around the world who contributed to Plating for Change, a video project that began when producers Mark Johnson Enzo Buono traveled around the world asking musicians to add their voices and instruments to a video recording of the soul classic “Stand by Me” that became a YouTube phenomenon. They have since produced similar collaborative videos for several other songs. $40.
Complex, cerebral, enchanting indie rock by this San Diego-based band whose music blends seductive melodies, deftly articulated guitar lines, and sparring vocal harmonies that are alternately sweet and straining. Opening act is Joe Jack Talcum, an indie punk singer-songwriter from Philadelphia best known as the founder of the Dead Milkmen. Advance tickets: $15.
