Even in the precious world of indie rock, it’s possible to be too cutesy, and Mates Of State have been toeing that line for most of their career. But the dewy duo continues to save itself by producing albums that are better than the previous ones, including the new Re-Arrange Us, which puts a few spins on the band’s drums-and-organ format via extra instrumentation from producers Peter Katis, Chris Walla, and Spoon’s Jim Eno. Its 10 catchy songs are so solid that you probably won’t even notice their creators making googly eyes at each other. Headlights hails from Illinois, though sonically—with its gauzy harmonies and swooping guitars—it could be the offspring of Britain’s early-’90s shoegazer movement and the chipper side of the Montreal scene. Also playing: Black Joe Lewis.

Yes, these shows are separate tickets, but it’s clearly a good night to be at Emo’s. Inside you have the Dirtbombs, perhaps the very embodiment of smart, forward-thinking garage rock, playing with Kelley Stoltz and Black Joe Lewis. Outside, you have the Hold Steady, who simply can’t stay off the road with their brainy bar rock. The inside show is $14; the outside show is $18.
Black Joe Lewis & The Honey Bears, Gary Clark Jr.

Well, my idiocy knows no bounds, but 2 folks from Austin Sound will be there. Looking forward to meeting y’all.
It wasn’t that long ago that Rilo Kiley—anchored by guitarists-vocalists Blake Sennett and Jenny Lewis—was the darling of the indie scene. The group’s name connoted an in-the-know cachet for those who could rattle off their favorite tracks from 2004’s More Adventurous. While the band’s fortunes haven’t completely reversed, last year’s Under The Blacklight—Rilo Kiley’s major-label debut—put them in decline. Greeted indifferently (or hostilely) by fans, it found the group expanding into Fleetwood Mac soft-rock territory. Still, Rilo Kiley was expanding its boundaries, and the album is a grower that seems destined to earn more respect over time. As live shows have proven since, the bolder new material is easily the band’s best. Opening: Thao With The Get Down Stay Down.
