Die Spitz, BOSHTX [patio]

Now that the dust of their ground Teeth has settled, three April singles suggest Die Spitz has moved beyond their 2023 debut’s thrashing punk in favor of slower, sludgier metal. Ava Schrobilgen rips a throaty near-incomprehensible roar in towering “i hate when GIRLS die,” though her heartbreak’s more palpable in melancholy “My Hot Piss.” Breaking further, Chloe Andrews plays acoustic on ominous “Little Flame,” crooning, “I want another body.” The grisly quartet plays the Vegas patio Saturday alongside hardcore favorites Bosh; after the gig, Andrews and guitarist Ellie Livingston celebrate their birthdays with a Rocky Horror-themed party in the venue’s indoors. – Carys Anderson

Aaron Lee Tasjan

The fourth album from Aaron Lee Tasjan, this year’s Stellar Evolution, lives up to its title. The Nashville songwriter continues to lean more into provocative pop inclinations, with synth-laced grooves like opener “Alien Space Queen” pushing into the anthemic swells of “Horror of It All,” but bounced against often hilarious asides like “The Drugs Did Me” and “I Love America Better Than You.” Tasjan remains masterfully unbound across his impressively eclectic stylistic turns, mixing winces and smirks in defiance of the world that comes across like Todd Snider and Tom Petty thrown into a psychedelic Beatles blender. – Doug Freeman

Come and Take It Productions 15th anniversary w/ Shattered Sun, Death of a Dream, Koningsor, Future Ghost, Virtue, HateWaker, BLIGHTFEEDER, Throat Locust, Torchered

Propping up the bar a few weeks ago at Lost Well, yours truly gloated about his hood’s blueprint biker bar. Days later, the hesher HQ lost its lease. Out of sheer superstition, then, we won’t brag about our other essential metal hub, home to outsized international (Abbath, Enslaved, Rotting Christ), domestic (Midnight, Obituary), and local acts (this entire bill). Empire, Mohawk, and Parish all book live metal, but this former Latin disco and brief home to Antone’s maintains prime log-cabin acoustics and mosh pit intimacy. Alice, Texas, metalcore crew Shattered Sun leads nine acts and complimentary barbecue and beer while supplies last. – Raoul Hernandez

The Get Up Kids, Smoking Popes [outside]

It’s been 25 years since the Get Up Kids’ sophomore album, Something to Write Home About, changed the emo landscape. The Kansas City fourpiece put out an album that would shape younger generations for years to come. To mark the anniversary, the Get Up Kids are releasing an expanded reissue and performing the album in its entirety on tour. Mosh along to the euphoric pop-punk perfection of “Holiday” and “Ten Minutes,” or let the emotion of piano-driven ballads sweep you into tears. Don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of elderly emos there to “Catch You.” – Abby Johnston

Jack Fister, Paige Plaisance (album release), Rattlesnake Milk, Valley Flower

Paige Plaisance’s self-proclaimed “swampy tonk” has been heating up South Austin over the past year and gets a proper pressing with her debut LP, Louisiana Lonely. As the title implies, the songs dig deep into her bayou roots cut with Texas dance hall, shifting from homesick ballads (“Highway 65,” “Back Home Feelin’”) and proper honky-tonkers (“Good Time Girl”) to Louisiana-fried piano boogies (“Love You First”). Plaisance swings fearless and sincere backed by her Yeah You Right Boys, with a string of guests lined up to join her onstage. Rattlesnake Milk, Valley Flower, and Jack Fister provide support. – Doug Freeman
