THE WILTERN
"If I ever give you up, my heart will surely fail," Allison Mosshart, global man-slayer and lead singer of this London punk-blues duo — as well as Jack White's gothic blues crew the Dead Weather — grumbles atop tribal snares and gnarly, satanic riffs on the opening cut of the Kills' newest release, Blood Pressures. That we don't know whether the black-haired growler is referencing, via her countless catatonic come-ons, Kills guitarist and Kate Moss' hubby, Jamie Hince, or White makes the lust-laden tension slathered over their superb new album all the more palpable. Like the trio of albums that preceded it, the twosome's newest is steeped in lo-fi, garage grit. But a larger, sonically fleshy mood emerges. Call it baby-making music for a whips-and-chains-heavy ménage a trois. —Dan Hyman
GREEK THEATRE
Husky-voiced singer-songwriter Ray LaMontagne returns to the Greek with his longtime touring band, the Pariah Dogs, with whom he recorded his fourth LP, God Willin' and the Creek Don't Rise, released last summer. LaMontagne produced the country-tinged album — his first shot at producing all on his own, and his first with a co-billed band — in just two weeks in his woodsy home in western Massachusetts. On God Willin', his voice emits weary melancholy, sounding as if it's coming from an old bluesman born and raised on the shores of the Mississippi. In December, the record was nominated for a pair of Grammys, taking home the title of Best Contemporary Folk Album. Tonight, they perform with Brandi Carlile and Vusi Mahlasela. —Lainna Fader
Rick Potts, Precious, Toning
THE SMELL
A seminal figure on the L.A. nongenre/electronic/avant-pop/misc. noise scene. Potts founded the Los Angeles Free Music Society in the mid-'70s and plucked power punk e-bass in Human Hands. He played sax, xylophone and saw (and applied an electric toothbrush to an electric guitar) in LAFMS offshoot Le Forte Four through the early '80s, and carried the experimental torch further in his disco-aristo-sarcophagus combo Dinosaurs With Horns with sample-loop king Joseph Hammer. With Medicine's Brad Laner he made up the essential Steaming Coils and Debt of Nature, and later formed the lopsided electro-acoustic pop perverters known as Solid Eye with Hammer and ex-Monitor man Steve Thomsen. Tonight Potts will be seen behind a table strewn with laptops, digital and analog FX units, an electric guitar and an undying love for a sound beyond. —John Payne

The National, Neko Case & T Bone Burnett, Sharon Van Etten
HOLLYWOOD BOWL
Brooklyn alt-rockers the National headline this night of fantastic voices at the Bowl, with lead singer Matt Berninger putting his foggy-bottom baritone to contemplative anthems like "Bloodbuzz Ohio" and "Mistaken for Strangers." You can almost hear a little bit of Peter Murphy's shadowy mystery around the edges of Berninger's deep crooning. Opener Sharon Van Etten hails from New Jersey and has a delicately sweet, almost countrified phrasing in rueful pop-folk tunes like "One Day." But the most majestic voice of the night belongs to Neko Case, whose powerful country-pop belting should sail stirringly and unfettered over the hills of Hollywood. She'll be joined by the oft-celebrated T Bone Burnett, whose recent productions of albums by Elvis Costello, Grace Potter, and Leon Russell & Elton John may sound a bit thin, but the lanky music vet was once a key member of Bob Dylan's notorious Rolling Thunder Revue. —Falling James
SATELLITE
In 2006, Yo! Majesty, a rap trio of females out of Tampa, Fla., had in-the-know clubs going crazy as they chanted, "Fuck that shit!" in "Club Action," a body-rattling, tongue-twisting single that showed they could go as hard as the boys. They also get just as nasty (sample song title: "Kryptonite Pussy"). Bucking their 2 Live Crew heritage, though, they toured with indie darling gay-rights advocates the Gossip, and were openly lesbians and Christians. Typical band trouble led to Shunda K leaving the group, but tonight, she and original member Jwl B. join back up. Shunda K has collaborated with gender-shrugging singer Peaches, and in January she released a solo album, The Most Wanted. Featuring the same punky, funky marriage of sound as Yo! Majesty, the record snaps from squealing rock & roll guitar licks to boombastic bass that'll drop the bottom out of your car. —Rebecca Haithcoat
Also playing:
BIG & RICH at L.A. County Fair; DAVILA 666 at the Echo; HTRK, TROPIC OF CANCER at Part Time Punks (the Echo); BRAD RABUCHIN GROUP at the Baked Potato.

Kissing Cousins, Wet & Reckless
THE ECHO
You might have seen Heather B. Heywood playing bass in husband Ben Heywood's expansive alt-rock band Summer Darling, but she also fronts the all-femme group Kissing Cousins, who have a heavy yet introspectively moody sound. Songs like "You Bring Me Down" thunder with a doom-ridden rock power that belies Heather's background as the obedient daughter of a Pentecostal minister. "Silhouettes" is quieter and more somber, with a restlessness that lurks just beneath its angular guitars, while the funereally dreamy "Snake Handler" alludes to the contradictions of her religious past. Fellow local gals Wet & Reckless jingle and jangle with inviting lo-fi punk-pop melodies, as lead singer Emily Wilder casts off her shackles and resists being pulled back into "Your Cemetery." —Falling James
