Here are some Record Store Day shows and events happening around town

Here are some Record Store Day shows and events happening around town this afternoon. The Toadies, some of whom are pictured on the left, are also playing an in-store at the Queen Anne Silver Platters at 4 p.m. Before that, Barton Carroll performs there at 3 p.m., and Romance plays at 2 p.m.Toadies, People In Planes at El Corazon, 8 p.m., $23No, it’s not your imagination: There is a 1990s musical revival happening in America, and there’s no sign of it stopping. After two break-ups and numerous band members’ solo projects, Jane’s Addiction reunited last year with the same original line-up. Now, the band is playing Sasquatch next month. And recently — this may also be a sign of the apocalypse — Limp Biskit announced its members would again join forces to tour and record a new album. And, as further evidence, alt rockers Toadies have also reunited. Most people’s understanding of the band focuses around the song “Possum Kingdom.” (You know, that one that starts with the majorly distorted guitar riff, and a chorus that goes: “I promise you/I will treat you well/My sweet angel/So help me, Jesus.”) For all intents and purposes, the songs off 2008’s No Deliverance aren’t that much different from Toadies’ biggest hit. The single, “Song I Hate,” is incredibly similar to Possum Kingdom: Starts out with guitar but no vocals, then segues into lyrics about love with a totally bitchin’ chorus. So, for anyone considering seeing Toadies simply for nostalgia’s sake, it won’t be much different than listening to the soundtrack to Empire Records — on cassette. PAIGE RICHMONDVetiver, Richard Swift, Black Whales at the Crocodile, 8 p.m., $12Originally starting out as a one-man vehicle for singer/songwriter Andy Cabic, Vetiver morphed into a revolving-door consortium before settling on a relatively stable lineup for its last two albums. Cabic’s working relationship with Devendra Banhart may make it all too easy to place Vetiver under the banner of Underground Folk Played By Modern-Day Bohemians With Long Beards, but Cabic clearly has a voice of his own. Over time, the one-time indie-rock guitarist has incorporated more electric instrumentation, but rather than simply switch between acoustic and electric modes, the band uncovers a vast middle ground in-between. Cabic has also managed to preserve the material’s quiet intensity, even as the band has grown around him. Of course, with such a laid-back attitude to bandmates coming and going, it makes sense that the music has a similarly laid-back, unhurried feel. Vetiver’s music has a lilting, pastoral quality that’s well-served by Cabic’s affinity for warm, 1970s production techniques, but it’s totally unfair to think of the band as a retro act. Cabic’s emphasis on craft may reach to the past, but the final product feels startlingly contemporary. Meanwhile, the highly astute musical interplay between guitarist Sanders Trippe and drummer Otto Hauser, now core members, helps anchor the music and provides the added attraction of a band dynamic to both the band’s new album, Tight Knit, and the live show.
