| LET’S DO THIS | t Music Spiritualized 7 P.M. THURSDAY, MARCH 31, AT GRANADA THEATER, 3524 GREENVILLE AVE., $39.50 AT PREKINDLE.COM In 1997, Radiohead released its career-defining album OK Com- puter, but as important as that album was, it was not the album NME named album of the year. That honor went to the English space rock band Spiritualized for its album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space. Critics praised the album for its bright, weightless and visionary approach to space rock, which had pre- viously been defined by the thunderous guitar of Marc Bolan of T. Rex or the dark and heavy soundscapes of Pink Floyd. While those bands had foregrounded the subject of space, Spiritualized chose to foreground the texture of space in defining its sound. Through the years, Spiritualized has incorporated more sounds into its overarching style, such as gospel music on Amazing Grace or pop on Sweet Heart Sweet Light. The band will release its latest album Everything Was Beautiful on April 22. DAVID FLETCHER Tanya Tucker 10 P.M. FRIDAY, APRIL 1, AT BILLY BOB’S TEXAS, 2520 RODEO PLAZA, $20+ AT AXS.COM At the age of 13, Tanya Tucker released her first hit single “Delta Dawn” after hearing Bette Midler perform the song written by Alex Harvey on The Tonight Show. Tucker’s version became a top 10 hit on the country charts, but it was Helen Reddy who made the song a No. 1 pop hit the year after her first hit single “I Am Woman.” Tucker has since credited her decision to record that song as the reason why she is a country singer today and not a rodeo queen. One of the very few child performers to make a last- ing impression on country music, Tucker outgrew her pop-coun- try origins to become a part of the Outlaw country movement in the late-’70s, combining the elements of rock and country music as heard in her 1978 single “Texas (When I Die).” For all of her Tanya Tucker performs Friday at Billy Bob’s Texas. Danny Clinch fame and contributions to country music, it wasn’t until 2020 that Tucker would win her first Grammy awards for “Best Country Song” and “Best Country Album” for “Bring My Flowers Now” and While I’m Livin’.

E., $25+ AT SEETICKETS.US Portuguese for “grave,” Sepultura is a Brazilian heavy metal band formed in 1984 that has managed to stay relevant for nearly 40 years thanks to the band’s openness to adapting and evolving with the sounds of heavy metal as they shift. Over the years, the band has combined elements of thrash, groove, death, alternative, indus- trial and even nu-metal into its arsenal. Though its only consistent member has been bass player and backing vocalist Paulo Jr., Sepul- tura has consistently released a new album every few years since its early days. The band’s most recent album Quadra was released in early-2020, the concept of which was based on Quadrivium, the four arts—arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy. The band divided the 12-track album into four sections of three songs and played a different kind of metal for each section.

SUNDAY, APRIL 3, AT THE PAVILION AT TOYOTA MUSIC FACTORY, 300 W. LAS COLINAS BLVD., $29.50+ AT LIVENATION.COM Over the last 15 years, Bon Iver, or more specifically its front- man Justin Vernon, has been at the forefront in defining the sound and feel of independent music. Starting with the band’s first album For Emma, Forever Ago, Bon Iver set the earthy tone that dominated indie music in the late-’00s alongside bands like Fleet Foxes and Blitzen Trapper. The band’s eponymous sophomore album expanded upon that sound, adding a wide range of instruments to elevate the simple folk-rock of their early work. The band’s sound changed again on 2016’s 22, A Million, which added elements of electronic music and hip-hop production to what the band had been building in its first two albums. In 2019, Bon Iver released its most recent record i,i. The album completely divided critics, but that didn’t stop the Recording Academy from nominating the album for “Album of the Year” at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards. DF Mattiel 7 P.M. MONDAY, APRIL 4, AT TULIPS, 112 ST. LOUIS BLVD., $15+ AT PREKINDLE.COM Supporting its brand new full-length album release, ATO re- cording artist Mattiel plays Monday night at Tulips in Fort Worth. Though the singer hails from Atlanta, Mattiel has actu- ally seen the most success in the United Kingdom where her second album Satis Factory received four-star reviews from British publications, The Guardian, Q, Mojo, DIY, Uncut and The Times.

Lauded by Jack White and drawing comparisons to Nico, Mattiel mixes elements of garage rock, psychedelia and just a little bit of country to bolster her icy alto voice.
