Moon Duo fits right alongside its obscure and bewildering label mates on Sacred Bones Records, bringing a little bit of darkness to its sound. The psych-rock group dabbles in reverb and wah pedals, but with a foreboding tension that lingers throughout the background. With Kikagaku Moyo, Fungal Abyss. The Barboza, 925 E. Pike St., 709-9467, thebarboza.com. 8 p.m. $12 adv. 21 and over. DH
The great thing about Andy Hull’s Manchester Orchestra is that his songs are just as compelling as heavy-rock arrangements as they are stripped bare like the basement recording project it evolved from. He’s like a millennial version of Billy Corgan, with Manchester Orchestra serving as his Smashing Pumpkins. With Balance and Composure, Kevin Devine and the Goddamn Band. The Neptune. 7:30 p.m. $18 adv./$22 DOS. DJL

After parting ways with front man Jim Lindburg in 2009, the band carried on for a few years with Ignite singer Zoli Teglas.

The Showbox. 8 p.m. $22.50 adv./$25 DOS. All ages. JB
