For those who enjoy the high energy of a Be Brave Bold Robot performance at full band capacity (which includes viola and percussion), you’re in luck. This lively group of rotating musicians led by vocalist-guitarist Dean Haakenson captures the sincerity of indie and folk-rock music with a fun, pop-oriented vibe. Haakenson says the band will debut new songs after its three-month pause from live shows. Bellygunner will join BBBR this evening, along with ’60s-pop-influenced Yours Truly, Michele; an Oakland-based musician who many Sacramentans know as Tippy Canoe. 1001 R Street, www.facebook.com/bebraveboldrobot.
