    Dance

    11:11:11

    And here it is, the finale that's been almost a year in its glorious approach, the culmination of Jennifer Sherburn and Natalie George's 11:11 project, exploding like earthbound, people-shaped fireworks across the festival-friendly scape of Carson Creek Ranch, with closing choreography for 40 performers by that Sherburn, with a solo opening by Rosalyn Nasky (abetted by the percussive robots of Matthew Steinke), with all manner of kinetic glory and an invitation for you, citizen, to join in the dancing afterparty. Note: This is going to be a highly memorable event, and if your FOMO is twitching right now, well, it's doing so with damned good reason. See you there!
    Sept. 6-9. Wed.-Sat., 8pm. $5-35.

    Austin Jukebox No. 8 w/ the Moles, the Revelators, Sonny Rhodes, the Dropouts

    Super Secret Records’ quarterly concert series boasts revived Australian indie psychsters the Moles, majordomo Richard Davies leading a band of locals with whom he’s been recording. Local blues punk John Schooley’s ex-trio the Revelators play their first gig since 1998 alongside lap steel great Sonny Rhodes. Reunited after 20 years, San Antonio garage maniacs the Dropouts pile on. $5, with donations for Harvey relief matched by Jukebox.

    Black Milk

    “It’s going to have that familiar feeling of straight boom-bap with a little sprinkle of live shit to keep it funky,” Detroit rapper/producer Curtis Cross told the Chronicle years ago. “I got to have that bounce.” As Black Milk, the 34-year-old J Dilla acolyte pogos both hip-hop verse and his band Nat Turner, whose mostly instrumental 2016 disc The Rebellion Sessions fused black soul to jazz.

    Green Day, Catfish & the Bottlemen

    Berkeley’s punk kings Green Day have hoed a long, ill-paved road since 2012. Ambitious, triple-disc serial release ¡Uno!/¡Dos!/¡Tré! hardly replicated past sales glories, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong melted down at a radio festival that led to rehab, and both bassist Mike Dirnt’s wife and touring guitarist Jason White battled cancer. Behind the politically charged Revolution Radio, the group turned a Sept. 5 Facebook Live session into an instant Hurricane Harvey benefit.

    Theatre

    Henry IV

    Shakespeare? Of course. But this kingly classic is directed by Beth Burns for the Hidden Room, is based on a new adaptation by Dr. Ralph Alan Cohen, and features a cast worth shouting about infused with a rowdy glam-rock aesthetic. Which means that this ain't your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather's Henry IV, this is your chance to see the Bard's work presented with incomparable theatrical power and style. Bonus: live music from Shoulders' Todd Kassens.
    Through Oct. 1. Thu.-Sat., 8pm; Sun., 5pm. $15-30.

    Melvins, Spotlights

    Sludge chieftains the Melvins remain incorruptible on 26th studio album A Walk With Love & Death. The latter side embalms dark, heavy, weird rock spiked with an unlikely power-pop cut from new bassist Steven McDonald (Redd Kross/Off!). The “Love” half soundtracks an artsy short by Jesse Nieminen that pushes the 34-year-old Left Coast trio’s sonic boundaries. Austin’s USA/Mexico, an experimental orgy of Butthole Surfers, Shit & Shine, and When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth members, delivers the omega set inside.
