Vampire Weekend, Banks and more top concerts this week

Top performances coming to town this week include Banks, Vampire Weekend, Calexico and Iron & Wine, and Morrissey/Interpol.

10.1: Mercury Rev & Beth Orton

The best musical stew that’s come together in these parts for a while: Brit chanteuse Beth Orton (Chemical Brothers) joins forces with vet indie rockers Mercury Rev (who appear without founding vocalist David Baker) to perform Bobbie Gentry’s 1968 album The Delta Sweete. And if that’s not enough, former Heartless Bastards frontwoman Erika Wennerstrom opens the show.

10.1: Roy Orbison & Buddy Holly Hologram Tour

OK, OK. Yes. This is an entire concert of long-dead rock and roll pioneers in hologram form. And while this sort of thing hasn’t exactly caught fire since the Tupac Shakur hologram made a 2012 debut at Coachella, J-Pop/Vocaloid hologram “singer” Hatsune Miku is a bona fide superstar. Also, a full-scale Amy Winehouse hologram tour was planned for later this year (until it was recently postponed due to “unique sensitivities”).

10.2: Banks

Singer/songwriter Jillian Rose Banks released her third studio album, the appropriately titled III, in July. The former CRSSD headliner’s latest collection cracked the Top 25 on the U.S. Billboard Chart and features co-production from Sohn, Hudson Mohawke and Tim Anderson.

10.2: Stiff Little Fingers

Yes, the Irish punk pioneers are at the start of their fifth decade of making and performing music together. But with founding lead vocalist Jake Burns and bassist Ali McMordie still in the fold, and guitarist Ian McCallum and drummer Steve Grantley both more than 20 years in, the band has never sounded better.

10.3: Vampire Weekend

Father of the Bride, the Grammy-winning, New York-based indie rockers’ May-released fourth album, is their first without founding multi-instrumentalist/producer Rostam Batmanglij. And while Batmanglij ultimately did contribute to a pair of songs on the album, collaborators like Chromeo’s Dave Macklovitch, Danielle Haim and Mark Ronson helped fill the void.

10.4: Calexico and Iron & Wine

The love affair continues! After releasing 2005’s joint EP In the Reins, Calexico (Joey Burns and John Convertino) and Iron & Wine (Sam Beam) have stayed friendly by occasionally appearing on each other’s albums. But in June, the super trio fully reunited once again for new album, Years to Burn, and a world tour that runs through November.

10.4: Loud Luxury

The Juno Award-winning Canadian production duo of Andrew Fedyk and Joe Depace heads back to OMNIA after last making an appearance there in May. They continue an already banner year that has seen the pair play Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) Las Vegas and Chicago’s Lollapalooza, as well as team with Bryce Vine on new single I’m Not Alright.

10.5, 6: Angels & Airwaves

Just here in August for a pair of shows at North County’s Belly Up and the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, the Tom DeLonge-led supergroup took a month off before returning to San Diego proper.

10.6: Morrissey/Interpol

How excited you are for this show is likely related to how much you appreciate the former Smiths frontman’s recent unsolicited foray into the political arena. But hey, even if that is giving you pause, remember: Interpol also will be there.

10.6: Bad Religion

The L.A.-based punk vets were just here in June to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater video game. The band returns on the heels of releasing its 17th studio album, Age of Unreason, Bad Religion’s first release of original music in six years.
