Pinback There are other small bands that can fill a room (and a heart). But these indie rockers win, for the complexity sneaked into easy melodies and the sound spectrum whipping from tinny to lush, buoyant to plaintive. With David Huntsberger, February 12, 8 p.m., $16-$20, Backstage Bar & Billiards.
Kodo One Earth Tour: Mystery Drum lines aren’t just for marching bands and teen movies. Catch a glimpse of the ancient Japanese musical tradition taiko, which melds drums, dance and costumery to bring mythical beasts and brave warriors to life. February 12, 7:30 p.m., $29-$99, Smith Center’s Reynolds Hall.
