[Concerts]
DETROIT COBRAS -- Today at 8 p.m. The Detroit Cobras distinguished themselves from the Detroit garage rock revival scene by covering rare vintage R&B and lesser known rock-and-roll tunes rather than rewarming old hits under the guise of new material. With Taylor Hollingsworth and the Spider Eaters. Black Cat, 1811 14th St. NW. $13. 202-667-7960.
CALIFONE -- See Can't Miss, this page.
  Luis Guzman stars in Fast Food Nation. Opens Friday. (See Movies, this page.) (By Matt Lankes -- Fox Searchlight Pictures) |
CUT CHEMIST -- Today, doors at 10 p.m. Contributor to underground rap group Jurassic 5 and Los Angeles Latin funk band Ozomatli, Cut Chemist is a master turntablist known for his lighthearted style and party music prowess. With Lyrics Born and Nighttime Gallagher. 9:30 club, 815 V St. NW. $20. 202-265-0930.
. . . AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD -- Tuesday, doors at 7 p.m. The Austin quartet's epic, bombastic, prog-inspired indie rock is hard to mistake. With the Blood Brothers, Celebration and Brothers and Sisters. 9:30 club, 815 V St. NW. $17. 202-265-0930.
TWILIGHT SINGERS -- Wednesday at 8 p.m. If you are a fan of the Afghan Whigs, you will like the Twilight Singers. There is no mystery to this: The Twilight Singers is Greg Dulli's post-Whigs project, and with this year's "Powder Burns," a snarling, back-and-forth meditation on drug addiction and recovery, he is proving that he is an artist to follow. With Stars of Track and Field, Jeff Klein. Black Cat, 1811 14th St. NW. $15. 202-667-7960.
RACHELLE FERRELL -- Thursday at 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. Though she has a name in the contemporary jazz scene, the composer, lyricist and musician is equally comfortable dabbling in urban contemporary pop, gospel and classical music. Rams Head Tavern, 33 West St., Annapolis. $55. 410-268-4545.
BOB DYLAN -- Friday at 7:30 p.m. American music's greatest living storyteller continues to draw crowds. Patriot Center, George Mason University, 4500 Patriot Cir., Fairfax. $59.50. 202-397-7328.
JOANNA NEWSOM -- Friday at 9 p.m. The Celtic harpist's new album, "Ys," comes out Tuesday, but even if you don't have a chance to listen to it before the show, Newsom's psychedelic folk is always interesting. Black Cat, 1811 14th St. NW. $15. 202-667-7960.
THE 3RD ANNUAL NIGHTMARE BEFORE THANKSGIVING PARTY -- Friday at 10 p.m. As teams of Baltimore's toughest women vie for dominance in a pool of cranberry sauce, Joyce DeSalvo and the Telemarketers, Wayne Mutant and Meat Vegan, Snowblind, DJ Matt Walter and the Savaginas perform. (If they'd thrown in a pool of stuffing, this would have been a Can't Miss event.) Ottobar, 2549 N. Howard St., Baltimore. $8. 410-662-0069.
KID KOALA AND BIG DADDY KANE -- Saturday, doors at 8 p.m. Sonar offers two reasons to head to Baltimore when Kid Koala, the scratch-happy Vancouverite turntablist, plays Sonar's club room while Big Daddy Kane, old-school hip-hop hero and compatriot of Biz Markie, plays a free show on the main floor. Sonar, 407 E. Saratoga St., Baltimore. Kid Koala $15, Big Daddy Kane free. 410-327-8333.
SOCCER TEAM -- Saturday at 9:45 p.m. Former Beauty Pill member Ryan Nelson's new act with Melissa Quinley began as a home-recording project. After the duo began playing local gigs, though, a debut album -- this year's " 'Volunteered' Civility & Professionalism" -- soon followed. Galaxy Hut, 2711 Wilson Blvd., Arlington. $5. 703-525-8646.
THE REVEREND HORTON HEAT -- Saturday, doors at 10 p.m. The celebrated psychobilly returns with his guitar-driven tales of sex, drugs and automobiles. With the Legendary Shack*Shakers. 9:30 club, 815 V St. NW. $20. 202-265-0930.
