DOPAPOD Last year’s three-night homestand by this charismatic Boston-born jam band ended with a nearly hourlong Pink Floyd cover that twisted through reggae, trance, and disco mutations. Will Dopapod attempt to top that feat? Find out here. April 28-30, 8 p.m. Tickets: $20, advance $18, three-show pass $50. The Sinclair, Cambridge. 617-547-5200, www.sinclaircambridge.com
HORSE LORDS This Baltimore quartet mixes egghead notions (just intonation, minimalist repetitions) with gangly guitar, art-blurt sax, and West African grooves, with infectious results; for proof, lend an ear to “Truthers,” the preview cut from new LP “Interventions.” The band tops a four-deep bill of emerging avant-rock acts. April 30, 8 p.m. Tickets: $10. Out of the Blue Too Gallery, Cambridge. www.facebook.com/events/1671771036378820
BOB MOULD “Patch the Sky,” released in March, finds this punk-rock veteran swinging for the fences with his customary mix of buzzy guitars, bubblegum melodies, and ferocious drive. Ted Leo, another indie-rock perennial, raises the curtain. May 1, 7 p.m. Tickets: $25. Paradise Rock Club. Paradise Rock Club. 800-745-3000, www.ticketmaster.com
