Carver is the new Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts and Rebuild Foundation endeavor at 2416 Lake Street that houses a Big Mama's Sandwich Shop, a gallery- performance space and artist studios. Artist and urban planner Theaster Gates of Chicago is the facilitator-instigator of...

Pick: Retox
May 9
Retox w/ Flesh-Eating Skin Disease and Video Ranger
Brothers Lounge, 3812 Farnam St.
9 p.m., $5 at the door
Retox members were all in other bands just like many other bands. Does it matter that they used to play in bands like the Locust, Head Wound City and Cattle Decapitation? If you ask Retox, the answer would be a resounding no. The same goes for any attempt to classify the band's punchy, menacing...

May 3
J.D. McPherson w/ the Black Lilies
The Bourbon Theatre, 1415 O St. in Lincoln
9 p.m., $15 in advance/$18 day-of-show, bourbontheatre.com
J.D. McPherson's excellent debut album Signs and Signifiers wears its retro heart on its sleeve, but McPherson and company deliver these 1950s-rooted rock 'n' roll gems with such verve and passion that its hard not to get swept up in it. These tunes feel like they've...

Rose’s New Season and Struve’s New Play Bring Excitement
Children’s theatre, regrettably, often doesn’t receive the press that other productions around town get. Sometimes its the limited appeal, sometimes its the daytime performances, sometimes the plays performed are simply nothing to write home about. But special attention needs to be paid toward The Rose Theater and new Artistic Director Matt Gutschick.
One look at the new season announced at The Rose for 2013/14...

Pick: Hue Blanc’s Joyless Ones
April 28th
Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones w/ Killer Blow and Silent Drape Runners
The Sydney, 5918 Maple St.
9 p.m., $5
By combining the menace of British post-punk with a lo-fi Midwestern garage rock rattle, Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones have crafted a take on punk rock that squirms its way into new places. It's hard to overlook the influence that Wisconsin has on the band's working-class rock songs. Sneering vocals...
