Champagne Champagne, Strong Killings, DJ Mamma Casserole
(Chop Suey) Who knew Nate Mooter from the Lashes was such a badass? The Lashes are radio-friendly pop punk, after all, and dude's been spotted playing the accordion in local parks just for kicks! Badasses don't do that. But then there he is, slaying on the guitar in Strong Killings, who are absolutely fierce (as in rabid wolves, not Tyra Banks). They're messy and loud and totally inappropriate for a Monday night because you're probably too hung over from the weekend to want to deal with that, but you should go anyway. After Strong Killings' set, Champagne Champagne will tell you how they like to fuck! (Spoiler alert: head down, ass up.) MEGAN SELING

Orkestar Zirkonium
(Neumos) If you've lived in Seattle for any length of time, you've probably caught (unawares, most likely) Orkestar Zirkonium, the city's premier 14-piece Balkan-centric band. OZ are predisposed to spontaneously marching around town, crawling through pubs, and soundtracking street parties with their uproarious drum-and-brass-laden dance music. Their compositions possess an archetypal old-world European charm, of course, but they're also vital as hell. Listen to them, and you can't help feeling your pulse race and your face crease into a wide grin. Orkestar Zirkonium's recent self-titled album has titles like "Nekemtenemmutogatol Oro" and "Zece Prajini," but the sounds are much less brow-furrowing than those words would imply. To quote Kool & the Gang, it's a celebration—even if you can't understand it. DAVE SEGAL
