The Mad Violinist & The Symphony Crack Orchestra
Symphony Crack Orchestra is a product of the collective roots of each member's upbringing, blending Nashville's traditional country, Georgia's southern soul, Oregon's alternative rock, and some distant planet's Jazz/ Funk. Each song is a raw release of emotion so palpable one doesn't need words to feel it; music with a unique ability to transcend time. 9pm. $10. Crowbar, 1812 North 17th Street.
The Mercury Program at New World Brewery
One of the most ingenious and talented bands from the early 2000s. Electronics mixed with some almost jazzy sounds – a cool, mellow sound, like the Sea and Cake reinterpreting their favorite Modern Jazz Quartet sides. The electronics and loops are introduced sparingly, interesting textures, never becoming the center of musical attention The Mercury Program will be of no interest to those who find instrumental post-rock insufferably dull, but it's consistently melodic, rhythmically varied, and unfailingly listenable. Doors open at 9pm. Tickets are between $9 and $12. New World Brewery, 1313 East Avenue.
