(504) 658-4100Ola Podrida, Dave Fera
Fri., May 24, 10 p.m.Rock
David Wingo is best known for his evocative film scores for David Gordon Green and Jeff Nichols (most recently Mud), but his band Ola Podrida is cinematic in its own way. April’s Ghosts Go Blind (Western Vinyl) embellishes an indie-rock script with grand pop gestures. Dave Fera opens at Circle Bar. Fri. May 24
!!! with Shockwave Riderz
Fri., May 24, 10 p.m.Rock
The unpronounceable punky dance-funk outfit — most commonly dubbed “Chk Chk Chk” — explodes past its gimmicky namesake with its eccentric discotheque, most recently on April’s THR!!!LER (Warp). In the band’s first release since 2010, !!! returns with lean dance-pop, house-inspired club rockers, and its signature offbeat space-funk. At Tipitina’s. Fri. May 24
