Got a hankering for live tuneage but no specific plans? Here 's a quick rundown of the options:

Friday, April 18:

Saul Williams w/ Dragons of Zynth at Martyr’s - Kickass spoken word over industrial beats. Floored by Saul at SXSW.

The Death Set w/ the Fake Fictions and Coltrane Motion at the Empty Bottle

RJD2 w/ Dalek at the Abbey Pub

Saturday, April 19:

Newton Faulkner w/ Jesse Baylin at Schubas - Maybe a bit schmaltzy, but this Brit can still tug a heartstring. Also appearing Friday at Schubas.

**MP3: Newton Faulker - Dream Catch Me (acoustic)

Rogue Wave at Schubas - Battling back from health issues and creative trials, Rogue Wave is set to rise once again to indie prominence. Whatever that means.

**MP3: Rogue Wave - Are You On My Side

Pegboy at the Bottom Lounge - Get your post-punk on.

Fiery Furnaces at the Lakeshore Theater
