Saves the Day, Say Anything We all have that one album that transports us right back to high school. Those who came of age loving Say Anything and Saves the Day should prepare for three chances to relive their pop-punk-fueled teen-angst days with this co-headliner. Los Angeles quintet Say Anything will perform its second release,  . . . Is a Real Boy, in full for the album’s 10th anniversary, and New Jersey four-piece Saves the Day will perform its sophomore album, Through Being Cool, in full for its 15th anniversary. If that wasn’t enough, opener Reggie and the Full Effect will perform 2003’s Under the Tray in full as well. All ages. ACP The Showbox, 1426 First Ave., Seattle, WA 98101 $23.50 adv./$27 DOS Monday, December 15, 2014, 7:30pm

Skinny Puppy You know that video of the goth kids dancing that’s been making its way around the Internet recently? Skinny Puppy is a band they could definitely get down to. The long-running Canadian trio’s brand of electro-industrial, most recently heard on Weapon, may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but there’s something intriguing about the band’s theatricality, especially during live shows, and singer Nivek Ogre’s distorted voice pairs well with the group’s experimental synth vibe. Plus it’s been together since 1982 (albeit with a few breaks in between) so it’s definitely giving the fans-including the U.S. government, which reportedly used its music for torture-what they crave. With Front Line Assembly, Haujobb, Youth Code. All ages. ACP Showbox SoDo, 1700 First Ave. S., Seattle WA $32 adv./$37 DOS Monday, December 15, 2014, 7:30pm
