If only there were movies and TV shows about vampires for songs like the ones on Bloodletting.

Oh, wait. There are. Few, though, are as truly dark and compelling as Concrete Blonde's seminal (so to speak) 1990 album, which gave the band its biggest hit in “Joey” and certified Johnette Napolitano as a singer and songwriter of power and substance even beyond the goths who swooned over the title track.

Napolitano and guitarist James Mankey have reconvened and toured to mark Bloodletting's 20th anniversary — and the release of a deluxe edition with five B-sides, including an en francais version of the title track.

Concrete Blonde hasn't been playing the entire album on its 16-date tour, which winds up tonight at the Music Box. But setlists have included seven of Bloodletting's songs, along with a cover of Leonard Cohen's “Everybody Knows” and Jimi Hendrix's “Little Wing” alongside band staples like “God Is a Bullet,” “Tomorrow, Wendy” and “Still in Hollywood.” Suffice to say that decades later, Concrete Blonde still has teeth.
