British post-punk band Killing Joke has been playing on and off for more than three decades, celebrating their 35th anniversary this year with a best-of record, The Singles Collection: 1979–2012, and a world tour to support it. Though they never got as big as most of the heavy bands they influenced, their devoted following is a testament to the enduring appeal of their dark, thoughtful output and consistent reinvention, with 2012’s MMXII earning the band some of the best reviews of their long career. With Czar. Neumos, 925 E. Pike St., 709-9467. 8 p.m. $25.
