These United States, The Weeks Cosmic Charlie’s, 388 Woodland Ave. 10 p.m., ages 18+, $10 From the venue website: "These United States surrender themselves to unbridled rock and roll exuberance: ringing guitars, thundering drums, desperate yearning bordering on hope. By turns larger-than-life and disarmingly intimate, this is folk in the truest sense – a record of the moment, of the cultural and emotional forces that animate everyday existence somewhere down below the headlines. (But never apart from them.) And These United States play it the way folk was meant to be played: hard, fast, big, slow, long, loud, loose, at last unburdened. They play like they mean it. Like there’s never been a better time to be alive."

The Middle Fork & Ben Lacy Natasha's, 112 Esplanade Alley, 11 p.m., $8 From the venue website: "Imagine: ranting schizophrenic vocals over a complex rhythm of electronic and live drums, pushed with a slinky fretless 5-string and layered with keys, sax, guitar--sometimes metal, sometimes ethereal, sometimes funky, sometimes industrial. Seriously, go ahead and imagine. I'll wait. The truth is your imagination can't even touch the reality of theMiDDLEfork. With powerful orchestrations and innovative approaches to instrumentation, these 3 guys sound like 6. And their musicianship is matched only by their intensity. See also: severe passion. See also: musical revolution."
SUNDAY, July 1
Randall Bramblett Band Natasha's, 112 Esplanade Alley, 7 p.m., $24
From the venue website: "Randall Bramblett has been a much sought after musician over the years. Early on when he was with Capricorn Records, Randall joined the jazz-rock outfit Sea Level with Chuck Leavell. From there, he embarked on a path as a big-league, musical utility man (especially with saxophone and keys) and landed on the speed dial of some of the greatest names in rock history, including Steve Winwood, Levon Helm, and Bonnie Raitt."
