The Hold Steady | Wintersleep Friday, September 24. Republic. 8PM. $18 ($15 in advance). Booking "Our new record, Heaven is Whenever, is about struggle and reward. It's about accepting suffering as a necessary part of a joyous life. It's about how love can help us rise above these struggles. It's about faith. It's about how bad it hurts to settle for less. It's about not being scared to try. It's about four guys who still believe in the power and glory of rock and roll. Because even after a thousand sound-checks, a thousand load-in and load-outs, fifty missed birthdays, and a few hundred electrical shocks, our reward still vastly outweighs the struggle. In fact, the reward would not exist without the struggle. Thus, this struggle is inherently part of the reward. And in this way, the fantasy of playing rock and roll for a living is a lot like real life."

Adventures while touring worldwide, as well as the band members' own immigrant histories, fuel the subversively upbeat story-songs; Front-man and lyricist Eugene Hutz spins out scenarios that are, by turns, hilarious and heartbreaking -- from the outsider experience of gypsies in his native Ukraine to the story of New York's immigrant diaspora. Gogol Bordello is arguably the hardest rocking group of our discordant new century, maintaining a touring schedule and an onstage energy level that would send the average combo running for the emergency room. Catch them live at Republic on October 8th!

Mumford & Sons | Cadillac Sky | King Charles Friday, November 5. Republic. 8PM. $20 ($17 in advance). Booking Since they formed in December 2007, the members of Mumford & Sons have shared a common purpose: to make music that matters, without taking themselves too seriously. Four young men from West London in their early twenties, they have fire in their bellies, romance in their hearts, and rapture in their masterful, melancholy voices. They create a gutsy, old-time sound that marries the magic of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young with the might of Kings Of Leon, and their incredible energy draws us in quickly to their circle of songs, to the warmth of their stories, and to their magical community of misty-eyed men. Presented by Republic and Winter Circle Productions.
OK Go Saturday, November 6. Tipitina's. 10PM. $17 ($15 in advance). OK Go combines off-kilter guitars, Pixies/Cars fetishism, and straightforward power pop sensibilities to produce catchy songs.

OK Go later won a Grammy Award for a subsequent video -- this one featuring the bandmates dancing on treadmills -- but the band continued to focus on touring and recording as well, with Of the Blue Colour of the Sky marking their third release in 2010.

Bonobo | Tokimonsta Wednesday, November 17. Republic. 9PM. $15. Booking With the experimental warmth of '60s French films and the pizzicato flavor of horizontal hip-hop, Simon Green's Bonobo project established the welcome niche of a pretension-free, post-party intellectual chillout. An almost silent figure among Ibizian romanticists, Green began in Brighton, debuting in 1999 and recently releasing the buzzworthy Black Sands featuring the single "The Keeper." Presented by Republic and Winter Circle Productions.

Doomtree Friday, November 19. Tipitina's. 10PM. $15 ($13.50 advance). Hip Hop / indie. Doomtree: Wings and Teeth Tour. Over the past five years Doomtree has become one of the most highly regarded hip-hop collectives in the Midwest, thanks to our innovative recordings, explosive live shows, and tireless work ethic. By combining the blueprint of hip hop with the DIY ethos of punk and a slew of disparate artistic and musical influences, Doomtree has won the favor of a broad range of audiences. The members of Doomtree come from a wide variety of backgrounds and musical interests, but join together to create some of the most forward-thinking beats and rhymes this side of 1987.

Stars Sunday, November 21. Republic. 9PM. $15. Booking New York born and Montreal based, Stars are soft-revolutionaries and music is their rallying cry. Their indie dance pop rallies to save us from our mundane and complacent fears. When at a loss for words, one music writer said the only way to describe Stars was "beautiful hope". Their music has been described as "breath-takingly effervescent" and they have been called the kind of band that "blue lights and fog machines are made for". The new album, The Five Ghosts, which was released June 22nd, has already been lauded by SPIN for its "flowing, synth-backed melodies" and THE NEW YORK TIMES said that "The music brims with optimism, full of major chords, sparkling synthetic sounds and tireless electronic beats". FILTER congratulated its "perfectly placed synthesizers" and "haunting vocals," going on to say that The Five Ghosts "packs the same profundity, rhapsodic charm and orchestration of previous records, but Stars takes it one step further, intensifying their indie-pop wizardry."
