But that doesn’t mean the band’s out for good. Between stirring hits like “Joke & the Thief” and “Woman,” there are still plenty of hard-rock vibes to go around. With Electric Citizen. The Neptune, 1303 N.E. 45th St., 682-1414, stgpresents.com/neptune. 9 p.m. $25. All ages. DUSTY HENRY

With Woods, Steve Gunn. Neumos, 925 E. Pike St., 709-9467, neumos.com. 8 p.m. $15 adv. 21 and over. DH
