MUSIC: THE CRYSTAL METHOD & RABBIT IN THE MOON This Area15 double bill is a holiday gift on several levels. It pairs two indisputable giants of the early rave era: The Crystal Method, whose all-killer-no-filler 1997 debut album Vegas remains a genre classic, and Rabbit in the Moon, which delivers its psychedelic trance through wildly theatrical performances. It brings the Method’s Scott Kirkland back to his former hometown of Las Vegas, the city where he met his former bandmate Ken Jordan and laid the groundwork for what would be one of the top breakbeat groups of the late ‘90s/early aughts. And it’s an inexpensive show at a great venue. Glad tidings, indeed. 9 p.m., $25, the Portal at Area15, area15.com. –Geoff Carter
