Angry Orts
Any band with a name that sounds like a villainous army of Dr. Seuss antagonists must be onto something. The Portland indie rock quartet Angry Orts performs at Streetlight Records.

Wednesday:
Vicious Rumors and Bomb & Scary
It’s metal heaven Wednesday night at Avalon with power metal groups Vicious Rumors, Bomb & Scary, Crushdown, Ikki Crave, and Chamber 7. Vicious Rumors keep it old school while Bomb & Scary integrate circus theatrics. Expect loud scorching guitars, amps that go to 11, and double kick drum pedals.

Thursday:
Joe Sib and Richie Panic
The iconic punk rocker Joe Sib comes home to San Jose to perform his “broken word” multimedia show, “California Calling: Growing Up Punk Rock,” at the San Jose Improv. Afterwards, head over to the Wasteland party at Agenda Lounge where SF superstar DJ Richie Panic will whip the 18-and-up crowd into a frenzied panic. Indie electro is the new punk rock.
