WEDNESDAY: Seeing a hardcore lineup of badass rock bands like the Acid Kicks (pictured), Leather, Harsh Vibes and Wild Child should be a sure-fire way to release midweek stress. 9 p.m., $6, Silk City, 435 Spring Garden St., 215-592-8838. ➤ If you’re more in the mood to dance rather than murder, you could catch a handful of solid indie/alternative bands — Yip Deceiver, The Absent Center, Fast Car and The Chelsea Kills. 8 p.m., $8, The Fire, 412 W. Girard Ave., 267-671-9298. ➤ World-renowned classical pianist/composer and all-around musical guru Vladimir Feltsman will be in town to perform Haydn and Chopin. 8 p.m., $23, Perelman Theater, Kimmel Center, 260 S. Broad Street, Suite 901, 215-893-1999.
