PARTY: GARETH EMERY Area15 has seen some memorable dance music moments between its impressive roster of visiting artists and its festival-like seasonal rave-ups, but the dynamic destination steps it up this weekend with its first residency. Forty-two-year-old British trance producer and DJ Gareth Emery, known for creating eye-popping visuals and adding live instrumentation to complement his sets, launches his exclusive Invasion360 series Friday night, the first of five dates planned at various venues at Area15. This one’s at the projection-mapped Portal, while next month’s headlining set at Neon Dream will be in the A-Lot. “This is nothing like a usual Vegas residency,” Emery said in March’s announcement, and he has held enough Vegas club residencies to know what he’s talking about. “No collared shirt requirements, no tiny dance floors and no casinos—this is a proper rave at the most insane immersive destination in Las Vegas.” 9 p.m., $40-$50, the Portal at Area15, area15.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: THE DOLLHEADS Since arriving on the Downtown music scene, The Dollheads have been living the teenage dream. The blossoming trio of siblings, ranging from age 13 to 16, earned a spot on the Life Is Beautiful bill last year, following the release of What Teenage Angst, a full-length debut the Weekly described as “a fast-flowing ode to plucky pop-punk, evoking fond comparisons to The Donnas.” The trio also hat-tips punk and rock icons like the Ramones and Foo Fighters with their energetic and fleet-footed style, and we’re in for a whole lot more of that on Et Cetera, an EP the band is set to play in full at its release show at SoulBelly BBQ, with local support from Calamity & Joy, Hunter’s Briefcase and White Noise. “We’re all committed to writing both lyrics and music as a band, and sometimes that includes waking up a sister in the middle of the night to ask questions about words, rhythms and melodies,” drummer Austin Avery says. “Et Cetera is the result of this creative process that represents each of us individually, as well as a trio.” The EP’s tracks should also play with the crowds at Punk Rock Bowling, when the Dollheads make their festival debut later this month. May 6, 7 p.m., $10, SoulBelly BBQ, eventbrite.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: CURSIVE Cursive has played Las Vegas no fewer than six times since 2009, but even superfans who’ve caught every one of those sets haven’t witnessed the Omaha, Nebraska, indie rockers like this before—performing primo 2000 concept album Domestica all the way through. Listening back to the LP now, Tim Kasher’s strained vocals and pained lyrics—about the fracturing relationship between characters “Sweetie” and “Pretty Baby”—remain harrowing a quarter-century on, and all four musicians who combined on the disc’s muscular instrumentation will be onstage Sunday night, original drummer Clint Schnase having returned to the fold in 2018. The band also has a cello player (Megan Siebe) in its midst these days; that instrument figured prominently on 2003’s The Ugly Organ, so don’t be surprised to hear selections from that revered disc, too, rounding out a night of peak-era Cursive. With Neva Dinova, 8 p.m., Backstage Bar & Billiards, seetickets.us.–Spencer Patterson

MISC: FARGO WITH TEAM DEAKINS English cinematographer Roger Deakins is a king. (Well, more accurately, he’s a knight: Sir Roger Deakins received his CBE in February 2022.) An Oscar-winner for 1917 and Blade Runner 2049, Deakins has devoted the last 45-plus years of his life to making our favorite films—The Shawshank Redemption, No Country for Old Men, Skyfall and many more—visually impeccable. He comes to Las Vegas this week with his wife and collaborator James (the “digital workflow consultant” on Sicario, Empire of Light and others) to promote and sign copies of Byways, his first book of still photography, featuring previously unpublished images from a lifetime of “spend[ing] hours just walking, his camera over his shoulder, with no particular purpose but to observe,” as his official website puts it. And once Team Deakins is done signing books at the Writer’s Block Book Shop, they’ll walk over to the Beverly Theater, for the purpose of introducing a 4k restoration of the Coen Brothers’ 1996 masterpiece Fargo—Deakins’ second Oscar nomination, by the way, among a to-date total of 16. A Q&A follows the film. Book signing, 5 p.m.; screening, 6:30 p.m., $10, the Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com. –Geoff Carter 

ARTS: MICHAEL DODSON: LEVITATE WEST “Go west, young man” was a 19th-century expression of manifest destiny. Now, Levitate West is something else. Artist Michael Dodson shows the once-frontier through his hallmark psychedelic gaze. Known for colorful murals at Life Is Beautiful, the Fashion Show mall and for the Rogers Foundation, Dodson shows paintings and prints in his latest exhibit, depicting regional flora and exploring how plant life can “align with neural connections of the human brain.” “It is my hope that these artworks provide the viewer with the experience of an altered state of consciousness: a feeling of levitating through space, time and the Southwest Desert,” reads the artist’s statement. I’ll take Levitate over smallpox and the mule-drawn covered wagon, thank you very much. Thru July 23; Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Friday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; free; West Charleston Library; thelibrarydistrict.org. –Shannon Miller
