New Order

New Order’s “Blue Monday” defined the electronic dance music genre on its way to becoming the best-selling 12-inch single of all time. Forming from the ashes of downbeat post-punk act Joy Division after the death of frontman Ian Curtis, New Order went on to provide the soundtrack for the John Hughes generation with the seminal 1987 compilation Substance. “Bizarre Love Triangle” endures as a dance floor staple while songs such as “Shellshock” and “Temptation” helped set the mood in the movies Pretty in Pink and Trainspotting, respectively. $50 and up, 8 p.m., AT&T Center, One AT&T Center Parkway, (210) 444-5000, attcenter.com. — DC

Skeletal Remains

Old-school death metal lives on in the form of Skeletal Remains, a band that manages to sound contemporary while paying homage to the genre’s 1980s and 1990s origins. Vocalist Chris Monroy has been the mainstay of the band, which like many of those acts of yesteryear features a revolving door of musicians. Despite the frequent lineup shifts, Skeletal Remains offers consistently pummeling riffage and catchiness — plus that heavy feeling in one’s chest when the double-bass drums are high in the mix. $15-$17, 7 p.m., Vibes Underground, 1223 E. Houston St., (210) 255-3833, facebook.com/vibesunderground. — BE

Kenia Os

Kenia Guadalupe Flores Osuna, better known as Kenia Os, has emerged as one of Mexico’s rising pop stars. Born in Mazatlán, the singer-songwriter became an online sensation after uploading videos to YouTube as a teen. At 21, she signed to Sony Music Mexico and has since released the hit albums Cambios de Luna and K23. On her latest single, “Malas Decisiones,” she embellishes her seductive and understated vocals with a mix of pop and urban rhythms. $44.50-$75, 8 p.m., Aztec Theatre, 104 N. St. Mary’s St., (210) 812-4355, theaztectheatre.com. — MA

Lilbootycall, Quentin Heartz, a$$phat

The trio of San Antonio rappers headlining this bill share a spaced-out delivery and home-grown bedroom pop sensibilities, which may explain why they regularly gig together and occa- sionally collaborate on tracks. They share other similarities too. All three also deal in a confessional-yet-occasionally nonsensical lyricism and often use samples of recognizable pop melodies. And, finally, all three achieved a significant following outside of their hometown courtesy of the Internet. $15-$20, 8 p.m., 1100 Broadway, 1100 Broadway St., (210) 504-8984, elevenhundredcollective.com. — Dalia Gulca

Glass Spells

Synth-pop frequently manages to sound simultaneously cutting edge and nostalgic. San Diego-based duo Glass Spells celebrates this retro-futurist approach by pairing the dreamy and atmospheric vocals of Tania Costello with founder and instrumentalist Anthony Ramirez’s infectious backing tracks. “Thrills” from Glass Spells’ 2021 release Shattered is a catchy intro into both the album and the pair’s sonic stylings. $15, 7 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary’s St., papertigersatx.com. — DC

Pachanga de San Patricio

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, the Tobin Center is hosting this free, outdoor mini-festival that explores “traditional music from new perspectives.” Piñata Protest headlines with support from Los San Patricios and Angelika Ruiz. Rounding out the event, Inishfree School of Irish Dance will present samples of an infectious 6:8 rhythm found almost exclusively in Veracruz’s huapango, Ireland’s jig and Western Africa’s wawa-nko, or snake rhythm. Free, 3-8 p.m., Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, 100 Auditorium Circle, (210) 223-8624, tobincenter.org. — MA

The Zombies

Although best known for the eerily catchy classic rock staples “Time of the Season” and “She’s Not There,” The Zombies were much more than a singles band. Over the years, a cult following has emerged for the British Invasion group thanks to its 1968 album Odessey and Oracle, a psychedelic-pop masterpiece Rolling Stone named one of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The record has drawn praise from an eclectic cast of artists, from the late Tom Petty to Mikael Åkerfeldt of Swedish prog-metal group Opeth. This show may serve as a valuable rock ’n’ roll history lesson for those eager to explore the foundations of psychedelic music. $39.00-$79.50, 8 p.m., Aztec Theatre, 104 N. St. Mary’s St., (210) 812-4355, theaztectheatre.com. — MM
