| AC/DC Oracle Arena | Tue., December 2, 8:00pm | East Oakland | |

| Deerhunter, Times New Viking, Common Eider King Eider Great American Music Hall | Mon., November 24, 8:00pm | Nob Hill/Russian Hill | |
Bradford Cox’ oversize persona threatens to overwhelm almost anything his band Deerhunter does. In concert, the singer-songwriter — who has Marfan syndrome and is shockingly thin — sometimes bloodies himself and otherwise makes people uncomfortable. On his group’s blog, he... More >>

| Portugal. The Man, Earl Greyhound, Wintersleep Slim's | Mon., November 24, 8:00pm | South of Market | |
Portugal. The Man's signature is a rare falsetto on lead singer John Gourley, but a lot of this band's bite comes from the fact that it sounds like two of them are playing in the forest and the other two guys are reverbed by church walls. Sweeping down from Sarah Palin's hometown by way of... More >>

If music were a computer system, the industrial subgenre called E.B.M. (Electronic Body Music) would be verging on the dreaded “blue screen of death,” i.e., total debilitating freeze-up. That’s why groups like Spetsnaz are rebooting their machines to revive the genre’s... More >>
