FRIDAY, MARCH 17, GRANADA THEATER, 3524 GREENVILLE AVE. $59+ AT STUBHUB.COM Boston indie rock band Guster has been going strong in the underground music world for more than three decades. The band started after its members met at freshmen orientation at Tufts University in 1991. The band has been known for its unique instrumentation, with each of its members playing multiple instruments. Adam Gardner and Ryan Miller share lead vocal duties and take turns playing guitar, bass guitar, key- board and banjo, all with backup from the band’s most recent acquisition, Luke Reynolds. Every once in a while, Gardner or Miller will pick up a trumpet, harmonica, ukulele or keytar. Drummer Brian Rosenworcel doubles as a trom- bone player for some songs. Guster’s last album was 2019’s Look Alive, but the band has spent the last few years rereleasing early material. Its Friday night show with special guest Nicole At- kins is officially sold out, but you can still find tickets through verified resellers. DAVID FLETCHER Morbid Angel 6 P.M. SATURDAY, MARCH 18, AMPLIFIED LIVE, 10261 TECHNOLOGY BLVD. E. $30+ AT SEETICKETS.US Tampa death metal band Morbid Angel is cele- brating 40 years of extreme music on its United States Tour of Terror. The band is touring with only one original member, guitarist and key- boardist Trey Azagthoth, who has been Morbid Angel’s primary composer these last four de- cades, bringing the music together with the help of over a dozen musicians across the band’s ex- istence. Like many death metal bands’, Morbid Angel’s music has often been associated with satanism, occultism and other subjects seen as blasphemous by some, but that was only the band’s early work. In the 21st century, its music has been more focused on Sumerian gods, the Roman Empire and the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The band has not released a thing since 2017’s Kingdoms Disdained, but its members have hinted that there has been something new in the works since 2019. Death metal bands Revoca- tion, Skeletal Remains and Crypta open. DF Their / They’re / There 6 P.M. SUNDAY, MARCH 19, ANDY’S BAR, 122 N. LOCUST ST. $15 AT PREKINDLE.COM In 2013, Chicago indie band Their / They’re / There recorded two EPs, with a total of nine songs for two different record labels, making one of the most bold yet eloquent musical statements in the history of math rock. Then they disap- peared. No touring, no recording, no nothing for the better part of a decade. Then, in late August 2022, the band released its third EP followed two months later by its first full-length album. The two releases added another 14 songs to the band’s catalog, making its complete discography just over an hour long. Their / They’re / There will be making its way back up to Chicago from SXSW when it stops in Denton on Sunday night. It will have opening support from New Jersey’s Sweet Pill and North Texas’s Skimp. DF The Zombies 7 P.M. TUESDAY, MARCH 21, HOUSE OF BLUES, 2200 N. LAMAR ST. $59.50+ AT LIVENATION.COM English rock band The Zombies made quite the impression on the music world in the late-’60s. The band released the flawless album Odessey and Oracle in 1968, which often still finds its way on “all time best album lists.” Then, for a long time, that was it. Between 1969 and 1988, the band had all but broken up. The Zombies’ origi- nal members came back together in the late- ’80s to record what would be 1990’s New World, but it would be a full decade after that before the band would enter into its most prolific pe- riod. It has released five albums since 2001 and only four albums released in the three decades prior. The Zombies have released three songs from an upcoming album ahead of its Life Is a Merry-Go-Round Tour with AJ Smith. DF Elle King 7 P.M. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, THE FACTORY IN DEEP ELLUM, 2713 CANTON ST. $40+ AT AXS.COM Singer-songwriter Elle King pulls into Deep El- lum Wednesday night on her A-Freakin-Men Tour. King spent last year supporting her hit song “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home),” which she recorded with Miranda Lambert. The single debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s rock and country digital sales charts, making King the first female artist to score four No. 1 singles in four different formats. Earlier this year, King re- leased her long-awaited third album, Come Get Your Wife, which has been labeled a country al- bum and has been making its way up the Bill- board Top Country Album. King’s sound has always been hard to place while remaining fa- miliar. Ranging somewhere between mid-tempo punkabilly and bluesy alt-country, King has shared the stage with acts ranging from Drop- kick Murphys to Ed Sheeran. This time, Alabama Southern rock band Red Clay Strays opens. DF Corey Bost | LET’S DO THIS | t Music Elle King performs on March 22 at The Factory in Deep Ellum.
