Mon, March 21, Duck. Little Brother, Duck!
Luigi’s Fun Garden, 7 p.m., $5
With influences from the children of progressive rock—math-rock bands like Piglet and Don Caballero—these guys played a few months ago alongside a nearly identical line up at Luigi’s and stole the house. Each member knows his part and plays it well. A local drummer standing next to me during the show was shocked by the band’s abilities. Hailing from Portland, Ore., Duck. Little Brother, Duck! is more than just another math-rock act: They possess pure-rock traits as well. Just don’t go calling it “post-math rock” or anything ridiculous like that. 1050 20th Street, http://ducklittlebrotherduck.tumblr.com.
