Y LA BAMBA
Dubbed the Latin-rock answer to Feist, Y La Bamba is an eclectic ensemble out of Portland, Ore., whose young singer Luz Elena Mendoza blends the traditional Mexican folk of her family roots with modern, experimental sounds. Steve Berlin of Los Lobos produced the sextet's just-released second album, "Court the Storm." Ecuadorian-flavored local sonic collagists Buffalo Moon open.

Whether dabbling with field recordings or black metal aesthetics, Phil Elverum's ingenuity isn't slipping after 15 years in the experimental indie-folk game. The Microphones mastermind has enjoyed a prolific 2012, releasing a pair of LPs under his Mount Eerie moniker. The latest, "Ocean Roar" (out this week), plays as a darker counterpart to "Clear Moon," a frothily dissonant, but counterintuitively calming disc. Word is that Elverum is bringing a five-piece lineup to the Northeast art gallery. Les Ourses, Myrrh and Jim & the Vanilla French open.MICHAEL RIETMULDER
