UPCOMING RECOMMENDED SHOWS
 
Dub Police
Beauty Bar, Tuesday, Feb 9
London drops dub plates en masse.


Grupo de Rua
Hogg Auditorium, Tuesday, Feb 9
Brazil’s love of pop-locking and top-rocking has been well documented since the Black Juniors declared “Quero Dançar o Break” in a crude early-1980s rap. That Brazilian b-boys would fuse hip-hop and the centuries-old martial art of capoeira is as natural as the nectar flowing from Copacabana juice bars. Choreographer Bruno Beltrão adds the grace and flair of ballet and modern dance to this stunning display of human locomotion. – Thomas Fawcett

Beerland, Wednesday, Feb 10
Casual victim pile Part 2.


Paul DiAnno
Red Eyed Fly, Wednesday, Feb 10
Everything you need to know about Paul DiAnno remains on the first two Iron Maiden discs, 1980’s eponymous debut and the following year’s Killers, wherein the now Germany-dwelling vocalist stamped Steve Harris’ galloping UK punk-metal gothic with his leather-studded cry. 2004 DVD The History of Iron Maiden Part 1: The Early Days peels eyeballs with said legacy, still alive in recent DiAnno YouTube clips “Iron Maiden,” “Wrathchild,” and “Murders in the Rue Morgue.” – Raoul Hernandez

Retribution Gospel Choir
Stubb's, Thursday, Feb 11

Low frontman Alan Sparhawk goes the short and sweet route and amplifies his dark side with Retribution Gospel Choir. Whereas the Minnesota trio’s eponymous 2008 Mark Kozelek-produced debut flipped the switch on Low’s 2007 LP, Drums and Guns, sophomore chaser 2 (Sub Pop) finds the Choir fully embracing the power of three, Sparhawk’s biblical fury and kerosene dreams realized behind a Crazy Horse squall of redemptive classic rock. – Austin Powell
