Thursday, July 31

MUSIC: FRANKIE AND THE WITCH FINGERS The undeniable power of Frankie and the Witch Fingers sucks you into their audible shapeshifting world and spits you out dazed, wired, and hungry for more. They’ve been grinding since 2013, but somehow still sound like they just crawled out of a garage possessed by the ghosts of psych and proto-punk. Their latest release, Trash Classic, doesn’t stray far from their signature bite—wavy synths, fuzzy riffage, and morphing drum sequences that feel like a nervous breakdown in real time. Frontman Dylan Sizemore commands with echo-drenched vocals and raw-eyed intensity. Don’t miss one of the fiercest, funnest DIY rock bands around. 8 p.m., $26, Swan Dive, dice.fm. –Gabriela Rodriguez

MUSIC: THE BLANK TAPES The Blank Tapes told us to never get old, and like any good advice, we’ve been trying to live it ever since, drenched in the band’s laid-back, California haze. At the heart of it all is Matt Adams, a quiet storm with a head full of kaleidoscopic sounds. Adams’ multi-instrumental mastery is a call to anyone looking for something smoother than a jolt. His dream mix of psych-soul, hippie funk and ’60s pop has just enough fuzz to keep it from floating away. Opening the night is Sarah Barlow, a Texas-bred blues powerhouse with jazzy, slow-burning style. 7 p.m., $8+, Fat Cat Lounge, dice.fm. –Gabriela Rodriguez
