Tuesday\u2019s State of the Union address is likely to drive this country\u2019s partisan wedge even deeper. Good thing we can unite around music, and there\u2019s plenty of it coming out way. Let\u2019s take a look. <\/p>\n
Wednesday, Feb. 25<\/p>\n
Skajects, Spies Like Us, Rat King Cole<\/p>\n
Nineties nostalgia is running rampant in pop culture, which means ska is once again having a moment. This lineup features a trio of San Antonio ska bands led by supergroup the Skajects. This might be your chance to catch the early edge of the long rumored fourth-wave ska while hearing SA musicians\u2019 take on the sound. $42.18-$98.50, 8 p.m., Stable Hall, 307 Pearl Parkway,\u00a0stablehall.com. \u2014 Danny Ceravantes<\/p>\n
Daisychain<\/p>\n
Music is music, but it\u2019s always nice when women bring their energy to a male-dominated subgenre. That\u2019s the case with Chicago\u2019s Daisychain, a trio specializing in heavy psych-rock in which two members are women. The group\u2019s excellent new All in a Name LP was produced by the legendary Sylvia Massy, who\u2019s twiddled the knobs for Tool, Johnny Cash and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. $15, 8 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., papertigersatx.com. \u2014 Bill Baird<\/p>\n

Will Wright<\/p>\n
Though he originally hails from swampy Shreveport, Louisiana, country singer-songwriter Will Wright\u2019s sound is more Bakersfield than boudin. Much like his spiritual forebears from the Golden State, Wright combines Don Rich-style Telecaster lines with Buck Owens-worthy cowboy meditations on loss, love and life on the ranch. But since he calls Austin home now, expect plenty of Texas honky tonk classics from the mighty polite Wright, who will make you dance all night. $7, 10 p.m., The Lonesome Rose, 2114 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., thelonesomerosesa.com. \u2014 Stephanie Koithan<\/p>\n
Friday, Feb. 27<\/p>\n
Yacht Rock Revue<\/p>\n
It\u2019s rare that we recommend cover bands and tribute acts, but this seems like a notable exception. Yacht Rock Revue offer a full tribute package for a much-maligned soft rock sub-genre, and they do it well. And why not, considering our city had a hand in creating yacht rock, since one of its progenitors, Christopher Cross, is an SA native. Expect to hear Hall & Oates, Steely Dan, maybe some Doobie Brothers. Is this music \u201ccool?\u201d Hell no, but it\u2019s a lot of fun. $38, 8 p.m., Aztec Theatre, 104 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 812-4355, theaztectheatre.com.\u00a0\u2014 BB<\/p>\n

Descendents, Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls<\/p>\n
The Descendentsemerged from the late-\u201970s LA punk scene to create their own music hybrid: melodic hardcore. A more reductive term might be pop-punk, but let\u2019s forget titles, because these guys definitely aren\u2019t on the wimpy side of that subgenre. Their debut album is a total classic. Drummer Bill Stevenson even did time in Black Flag during the early era. Opener Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls have all the drive and vitriol of a classic punk band but \u2013 gasp \u2013 Frank plays acoustic guitar. No matter, it\u2019s melodic pogo music with a folk-punk vibe. $58, 6 p.m., Aztec Theatre, 104 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 812-4355, theaztectheatre.com.\u00a0\u2014 BB<\/p>\n

bbno$, Jungle Bobby<\/p>\n
Over the past decade, Vancouver-born hip-hop artist bbno$ has blossomed into a certified superstar. The breakout was his 2019 collaboration with Y2K on the single \u201cLalala,\u201d and 2021\u2019s \u201cEdamame\u201d built an even bigger following for his brand of irreverent hip-hop. The artist\u2019s seventh album, which dropped in October, further showcases his clean lyrical style underpinned by danceable electronica. Expect to see the SA crowd jumping. $91.82 and up, 8 p.m., Aztec Theatre, 104 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 812-4355, theaztectheatre.com.\u00a0\u2014 DC<\/p>\n
