  • Czech Plz Tapping at Crafthaus Brewery

    Sample this new, local “Czech-style pilsner … with fresh cut floral notes and spice on the nose”—and maybe leave with a limited 16-ounce four pack. Also, free hot dogs! July 4, Noon- 10 p.m., 7350 Eastgate Road #110. –Spencer Patterson

  • Man Man at Backstage Bar & Billiards

    Five years have passed since leader Honus Honus and his experimental-rock troupe brought their live brouhaha to this same Downtown venue, and while some names—of musicians onstage and songs in the setlist—have changed, the Philly group’s frenetic energy remains a constant. Also, “Friday” singer/YouTube sensation Rebecca Black (now 22!) opens, which is … something. With Chefs, July 5, 9 p.m., $15-$20. –Spencer Patterson

  • Lush: Art X Words at Escape Artists Studios

    This “design, poetry and music exhibition” will bring together an assortment of local artists and writers—including Brent Holmes and Elizabeth Quiñones-Zaldaña—for a multidisciplinary hootenanny. July 5, 8 p.m., free, Art Square. –Geoff Carter

  • Jon Jones Official Fight Afterparty

    With 24 wins and only one loss, Jon “Bones” Jones is UFC’s current, undisputed Light Heavyweight Champion. He’ll battle Thiago Santos on Saturday and then host On the Record’s post-fight afterparty. Park MGM, July 6, 10:30 p.m., $25-$35. –Leslie Ventura

  • Iliza Shlesinger at Terry Fator Theatre

    “I am a millennial, but I’m an elder millennial. Wizened. Sage. Gather ’round the Snapchat, children; I’ll tell ya the tale … of the landline.” That’s how Iliza Shlesinger rolls; she delivers of-the-moment, whip-crack zingers with greater frequency than we Instagram our dinners.(And we do that often.) July 6, 10 p.m., $33-$44, Mirage. –Geoff Carter

  • Kirby Krackle at Alternate Reality Comics

    Kyle Stevens has been delivering nerd-rock ditties about graphic novels, video games and geek culture for a decade. Watch the video for “X-Men Pool Party,” then catch him live. 5:30 p.m, $5 donation, July 6, 4110 S. Maryland Parkway. –Leslie Ventura

  • Bat House at Starboard Tack

    The spacey, ethereal Boston indie rock outfit pairs up with experimental Montreal pop duo Mauno (pronounced Mow-no) and locals Chameleon Queen and Chefs for an intimate show. July 10, 10 p.m., donations accepted, 702-684-5769. –Leslie Ventura
