A concert a day keeps the doctor away.
Monday: An Albatross is a trippy-ass math rock group with all the best toys. They use Korg and Moog synths and a theremin to 'to facilitate a nonstop musical orgasm until we pass through the jeweled gates of Rock and Roll Valhalla!' Sounds like: Test Icicles. With Dark Meat, Bobo, Prowler, 8 pm, Danger Danger Gallery, 5013 Baltimore Ave.
Tuesday: Imagine for a moment that the guy from Coldplay wasn't such an insufferable douche and you'll have imagined David Gray. Now if only that would instigate some sort of space-time paradox that would cause Chris Martin to be blasted from this dimension' With Lisa Hannigan, 8 pm, $55, Tower Theater, 19 S 69th St., Upper Darby, PA, 610-352-2887
Wednesday: Really, I'm only recommending Pearl Jam because they're playing with Social Distortion. Mike Ness does the punk-rock impossible and produces comprehensible vocals backed by a solid band. 7:30 pm, $77, Wachovia Spectrum, 3601 Broad St., 215-336-3600
Thursday: If grunge cleaned up and got it's act together it'd be Pinback. They play a bass-heavy breed of indie rock that sounds like Minus the Bear if their guitarist decided to chill the fuck out and relax for a minute. With indie/surf rock band Obits opening, this show should be sick from start to finish. 9 pm, $16, Theatre of the Living Arts, 334 South St., 215-922-1011
Friday: Maybe I'm just overwrought with DC pride, but Thievery Corporation is the ever-loving shit. A down-tempo duo of might, Thieve-Corp takes their sound from music all around the world, throws it in a blender and feeds you a delicious trip-hop milkshake. With Ocote Soul Sounds, Rob Paine, PEX, 9 pm, $42, Electric Factory, 421 N. Seventh St., 215-627-1332
Saturday: The Dead Milkmen slowed it down for after the death of their bassist. Now the old school punkers return, bringing the delightful combination of comedy and punk rock back to their hometown on Halloween. Word on the street is that their frontman is an excellent writer' With Live Not On Evil, The Tough Shits, 8 pm, $18.50, The Trocadero, 1003 Arch St., 215-922-6888
Sunday: Boys Noize is one dude from Germany. Alex Ridha has been spinning electro for over a decade, and while his original material might be a little weak, (one might even say mind-numbingly repetitive) his remixes make up for it and then some. With Dave P & Friends, 9 pm, $12, The Barbary, 951 N Frankford Ave.
