Shoegaze blended with catchy hooks to bring you airy dreampop in both Japanese and English. Think J-pop meets My Bloody Valentine, a match made in heaven by Yuki Chikudate's whispy, airy melodies, which float suspended over James Hanna's heavily processed guitar. Their first release won rave reviews. Single "Walk on the Moon" was a CMJ favorite and in heavy rotation on MTVu. Their most recent release, Fluorescence (appropriately available in limited-edition pink vinyl), picks up where they left off, with Chikudate spinning stream-of-consciousness lyrical soundscapes over driving walls of reverberation. Those of you nostalgic for that slice of the '90s that brought us Lush [Ed.'s note: O Miki Berenyi, where art thou?] and the Jesus and Mary Chain will dig on this. —Kristina Benson
@WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL
His commanding technique and probing intellect make pianist Yefim Bronfman your go-to man for a program as varied and challenging as this one. He'll do Haydn's Piano Sonata in C, the exhilarating run through almost bizarrely emotional terrain that's like a survey in the history of counterpoint, lyrical/dissonant schizophrenia and athletic pedal effects — and it's all crammed into three minutes. Esa-Pekka Salonen's Humoreske gets its world premiere tonight; we assume that his humors refer in the original sense to those of the body once thought to determine a person's physical and mental states, as does William Schumann's Humoreske in B-flat, which also gets a look. Bronfman, if he survives (he will), then tackles Chopin's rolling, roiling 12 Études, "formal exercises" with a highly informal, feral ferocity of audacious harmonies and burning fingerwork. —John Payne

@TAIX
Susan James' recent fourth album, Highways, Ghosts, Hearts & Home, examines the competing pulls between domestic, familial loyalties and a musician's love of the open road. —Falling James

MarchFourth Marching Band, Mutaytor
@THE ECHOPLEX
Spring got you craving a carnival? Portland's MarchFourth Marching Band will take you on that ride without the rickety roller coasters and scary carnies. Since 2003, the traveling big-band bonanza has been turning venues into life-size jack-in-the-boxes. Out pop stilt-walkers, fire dancers and stilt-walking fire dancers. The collision of saxes, trombones, trumpets and drums means it sounds like the happiest, heartiest halftime show you've ever seen, or a Bollywood movie, or a jazz funeral in New Orleans, or the No Doubt (with whom they've performed) video for "Hollaback Girl." All the members are also artists, designing their costumes, merch and even their drum harnesses. Mutaytor, a vaudevillian circus that burst forth from Burning Man, promises to "convert civilians to rock stars." Come one, come all. —Rebecca Haithcoat
