Sept. 28: The Felice Brothers
You’d think the Low Anthem, Deer Tick, the Avett Brothers, Dawes, Middle Brother, Delta Spirit and the Decemberists’ newest album have wrung the current alt-country trend dry. The Felice Brothers attempt their own take on the Americana tradition with their new “Poughkeepsie Princess EP,” for which they recorded songs at their home in the Catskills. The brothers (yes, they’re actually brothers) will bring their 1960s-influenced folk rock to D.C. for a headlining show at 9:30, so expect plenty of raucous choruses and ramshackle guitars.

Is there a more tired story in indie rock than the saga of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah? Their moniker “indie’s first buzzband” has worn thin from use in every context where the band is discussed (including this one). Here’s an abridged version: In the archaic age of 2004, before the time of Myspace or Bandcamp, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah self-released their eponymous first album and won the support of music blogs — thus, the indie pop fivesome was reborn as a critical darling.

It’s tempting to think of the Swedish indie rockers Peter Bjorn & John as newer players in the indie rock scene. But in reality, the band — which takes its name from the first names of the three bandmates — are responsible for six studio albums over the course of nearly a decade, with their first self-titled album released back in 2002 on a small Swedish label.

Valentine’s Day is coming fast upon us, and its coming is inexplicably linked with love songs. Musicians have been singing about the boy-meets-girl conundrum for as long as pop music has existed, and in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, here are some quality love songs of past and present:

The California duo of Best Coast and Wavves played the 9:30 club on Monday, stopping by as part of their “Summer Is Forever” tour sponsored by MTVU.
