This week's concert preview is being brought to you by Kevin Meenan of Epicsauce, providing detailed concert listings for the Bay Area every week. Follow them on Twitter.
Another packed week with sludge metal veterans Big Business at Bottom of the Hill tonight, unapologetic thrash/dance hybrid All Leather at Thee Parkside Tuesday and alt-rock legends Dinosaur Jr. at The Fillmore Friday.
Our weekend pick is Berlin's DJ prodigy Boys Noize at Mighty Saturday. Best known for his epic 2007 remix of Feist's "My Moon My Man," Boys Noize puts a techno spin on the exceedingly repetitive electro genre. Already a giant abroad, our money is on him being one of the few mainstays to emerge from the current round of dance stars. And while his no frills live show may not quite rival that of Daft Punk or Justice on the visuals front, his banger heavy improvised sets are always a good time.
Quite a few other solid calls this week including Bradford Cox's Atlas Sound at Great American Music Hall Tuesday, San Francisco's unusually eclectic Battlehooch at Bottom of the Hill Friday and a string of Jello Biafra appearances in celebration of Alternative Tentacle's 30th anniversary -- as always, be sure to consult the showlist.
