Big Foot Chester (farewell), the Ugly Beats
After 30 years of hootin’ and hollerin’, Big Foot Chester is kicking its feet up for good. Beginning as a one-off to commemorate the birth of Chester “The Howlin’ Wolf” Burnett – known colloquially as Big Foot Chester because of his formidable size – these rockabilly titans never imagined they’d make it three decades, but here they are. This “punked out blues and country band” boasts a just-as-formidable lineup of musicians: harmonica titan Walter Daniels, guitarist and Austin Music Hall of Famer Bill Anderson, Dan Hoekstra of the Sons of Hercules, Sugar Shack and Lord High Fixers drummer Stephanie Friedman, and Angele Moyseos of the Cryin’ Out Louds on bass. Bidding adieu after 30 years seems like a fitting send-off, a full-circle moment for a band who once celebrated the birth of a blues icon. – Cy WhiteSat., June 8, 8pm -

Omni, Fake Fruit, Dorio
How many times can you re-create post-punk’s founding barbed wire guitar? For Atlanta trio Omni, the limit does not exist. Sure, there’s some obvious Wire influence on February’s Souvenir, but angular riffs, thumping bass, and snappy percussion never get old when done well. Opener “Exacto” beautifies singer-bassist Philip Frobos’ chopped vocals with sustained high notes and glimmering keys, while Automatic singer Izzy Glaudini lends her detached voice to “Plastic Pyramid,” whose droning background synths recall the L.A. band’s own gloriously buzzy psych-pop. Bay Area contemporaries Fake Fruit and Austin bedroom poppers Dorio complete the fuzzed-out bill. – Carys AndersonWed., June 12, 8pm -
