The Darkness
HOUSE OF BLUES
Even as the Darkness's 2003 debut album, Permission to Land, was becoming a multimillion seller, there was widespread speculation that the Brit band was some sort of spandex-clad spoof — which only lent an unlikely mystique to its AC/DC-meets-classic-Queen retro pop-metal. In fact, this over-the-top quartet was always deadly serious about creating robust glam anthems laced with ludicrous lyrics, swaggering six-string histrionics and frontman Justin Hawkins' eye-rolling falsetto. In keeping with the group's cartooning (accidental or otherwise) of every rock star cliché, what followed included a relative flop of a second album, an ugly lineup shuffle and rehab for Hawkins. But in an equally Spinal Tap–ish twist, the original Darkness now are heroically reunited, with a returned sense of fun and still this millennium's most multidimensionally entertaining live rock show. —Paul Rogers

EL REY THEATRE
If you can get past its awkward, self-help-book-style title, Sinéad O'Connor's new album, How About I Be Me (and You Be You)?, is an impressive return to form. With songs like "I Had a Baby," themes of domestic bliss and romantic enchantment abound. On "Old Lady," she takes delight in a lover who makes her "laugh like an idiot/and not be so serious," and her relaxed joy is almost palpable on the inviting love song "Reason With Me." Lest you think she's lost her edge, tracks like "Take Off Your Shoes" recall the emotional catharsis of her more provocative early songs, as she declares, "I bleed the blood of Jesus over you/And over every fucking thing you do." At moments like this, O'Connor's voice is eerily baleful and powerful and still capable of raising literal chills up the spine. Also Tues. —Falling James
Gregory Rogove, Big Sir,Eureka the Butcher, Sadah Luna
Harvard & Stone
Gregory Rogove is the drummer of Priestbird and Megapuss with the Strokes' Fabrizio Moretti, does ace tubs wickedness with bud Devendra Banhart and loads more. Rogove now has a two-disc multimedia release called Piana, an album of very moody, impressionistic solo piano compositions that comes with a bonus DVD, including video interpretations of the tracks and radical remixes by the likes of Banhart himself, the Bees, Lucky Dragons and Violens. Rogove and superspecial guests will further reinterpret the pieces to visual accompaniment. Also Big Sir, featuring the Mars Volta's Juan Alderete and Air vocalist Lisa Papineau — they'll play from their gorgeous new Before Gardens After Gardens album — and Zechs Marquise multi-instrumentalist Marcel Lopez-Rodriguez, who brings his Eureka the Butcher and Sadah Lunah. —John Payne

Sleigh Bells, Black Bananas
MAYAN THEATRE
After spending much of 2011 off of the pop culture radar (at least compared to 2010, in which they seemed all but omnipresent), Brooklyn's Sleigh Bells are back this month with the follow-up to Treats, the buzzy, fuzzy debut that launched a thousand headlines about how you shouldn't adjust your speakers. New one's called Reign of Terror, and though we haven't heard the whole thing yet — Sleigh Bells' rep says it's on lockdown until release date, which is the day of this show — advance singles "Born to Lose" and "Comeback Kid" suggest they're still in love with noise. Same goes for openers Black Bananas, the latest outfit from former Royal Trux lady Jennifer Herrema: Their just-issued Rad Times Xpress IV comes encrusted with all manner of scuzz-funk debris. —Mikael Wood
Busdriver
THE ECHO
Busdriver has always had a way with words, spitting them out at a mile a minute until the multilayered skein of potent phrases unrolls like a densely detailed, never-ending tapestry where the local rapper weighs in on everything from love and war to racism and the music industry. With a mind this restless, Busdriver can't be neatly categorized or lumped in with other rappers. On his latest album, Beaus $ Eros, his lyrical concerns range from profound social confrontation ("NoBlacksNoJews NoAsians") to warped and spaced-out goofiness ("Picking Band Names"). Even though the Project Blowed veteran is a supreme wordsmith, he digs into a wider variety of freaky and funky sonic settings on the new album. —Falling James

CENTER FOR THE ARTS, EAGLE ROCK
Here's an artist unafraid to push the limits of accessibility. On his latest EP, Headcage, he blurs the line between experimental electronic music and unabashed pop. With "Around a Fountain," he delves into soothing, borderline-ambient sounds, but then he brings on the slow, driving funk with the title track. And with "In the Middle (I Met You There)," he churns out what might be his most infectious piece of quirky pop yet. For Dear, the co-founder of acclaimed record labels Ghostly and Spectral Sounds, Headcage is a prelude to his fifth full-length, Beams, due out this year. The New York–based artist will be hitting the road with tunes from both the EP and the full-length in tow. —Liz Ohanesian
