    Austin Psych Fest Aftershow Day 1 w/ SUUNS, Queen Serene

    Like Levitation 2024 before it, the Black Angels’ annual celebration of psychedelic music has expanded its genre constraints to spotlight the best of all things alternative, from indie rock legends (Kim Gordon plays solo on Saturday, while Yo La Tengo and Dinosaur Jr. wrap Sunday) to post-punk contemporaries (Day 2 act Wombo) to post-rock torchbearers (Godspeed You! Black Emperor and locals Explosions in the Sky both top Friday’s bill). Of course, the festival’s hazy origins remain thanks to consciousness-raising, generation-spanning acts like Blackwater Holylight, Holy Wave, and Angels singer Alex Maas. More affordable than most fests with such stacked lineups, day tickets go for $75 while weekend passes request $200. – Carys Anderson

    Rancho Alegre Conjunto Music Festival Day 1 w/ Los Enmascarados, Conjunto Baraja de Oro, Belen Escobedo y Panfilo's Güera

    Since 2015, Rancho Alegre has thrown a free, all-ages festival aimed to preserve Conjunto music, the accordion-driven Tejano creation that fuses German polka rhythms with Mexican folk songs. The event’s 10th anniversary touches down at two decidedly East Austin venues: On Friday, Belen Escobedo y Panfilo’s Güera, Conjunto Baraja de Oro, and Los Enmascarados perform at East Cesar Chavez beer hall Central Machine Works, while Rodney Rodriguez, Bobby Salinas, and more perform Saturday and Sunday at the Doris Miller Auditorium, the undervalued Rosewood event center that hosted Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and more Black icons back in the day. – Carys Anderson
    Fri., April 25, 5:45pm. Free (all ages).

    Wormrot, NO/MÁS, BOSH [inside]

    Diamond-shaped isle between Malaysia and Indonesia, Singapore stacks 6 million inhabitants onto roughly 284 square miles of one of the most densely populated spots on the planet. That’s about half the size of the smallest state in our union (Rhode Island). Wormrot commandant Arif Suhaimi can incite every last one of them into the mosh. Alongside axe maniac Rasyid Juraimi since 2007 and early days drummer Fitri, back following a nine-year stint by replacement Vijesh Ghariwala, the grindcore trio erupts like a volcano across four LPs. Suhaimi departed after pandemic surprise Hiss, then returned last year to touch off more human tsunamis, including this month’s “Outburst of Annoyance” live single for audio extremists Earache. No/Mås and Bosh support. – Raoul Hernandez

    Silverada, The Tender Things

    Last year, Silverada took the cover of the Chronicle as the hard-driving country quintet shed the Mike & the Moonpies moniker they’d ridden for nearly two decades and reloaded for the next phase of the band. Their ethos remained the same, though, with a grinding mindset and crowd-winning combination of rocked-out live shows and sincere ballads that has carved their mark on the independent country scene. Newly released EP Texas 42 strips down some catalog deep cuts into an acoustic campfire feel. The Tender Things load in first with their swaggering brand of Southern-rock fried Texas honky-tonk. – Doug Freeman
