Barreracudas w/ Hector’s Pets & JP5 at The EARL
The Barreracudas are an Atlanta five-piece that make trashy power-pop that’s a little silly, a little snarky and a lot of a good time. Boasting members of Beat Beat Beat, the Hiss and Gentleman Jesse & His Men, the band is releasing a 7-inch that features rock ‘n’ roll earworm “Promises, Promises.” Mid-tempo drum fills jostle against flickering, energy-packed chord progressions, the jangling combination of which results in an instantly likable, easily danceable track. The Barreracudas marry ‘70s glam a la the New York Dolls with the greasy charm of modern garage rockers like Nobunny, but are at their best when they don’t take themselves too seriously (“I got a pocket full of quarters now/ And I’m your Donkey Kong”).

Tickets are $8. Online, phone, and outlet sales close at 6pm on the day of the show. Doors open at 9pm.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra: The Christmas Attic at The Arena At Gwinnett Center

When Paul O’Neill first conceived Trans-Siberian Orchestra, his goal was as straightforward as it was incredibly ambitious. “The whole idea,” he explains, “was to create a progressive rock band that would push the boundaries (of the genre) further than any group before… Way, way further.”

With more than 10 million albums sold, TSO has inspired generations of fans to rediscover the multi-dimensional art form of the rock opera. Meanwhile, on the road, they have become one of the world’s top acts, with Billboard magazine naming TSO as one of the top touring artists of the past decade — a $20 million-plus production that has played to over 100 million people in 80+ cities, selling more than $280 million worth of tickets and presenting $11 million to charity.

Tickets are $43-$72. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Find Tickets.
