HIP-HOP B.DURAZZO
R
appers get all the credit. Not that they don’t deserve it — don’t get me wrong, there’s something truly notable about master tongue-twisters. Like rock singers, words are what people relate to first and foremost in music. But this show, set for First Friday this week, clears the stage for beat-masters. Featuring the breezy, haunting work of Oakland artist B.Durazzo and local beat-witch Sales Wagon, this show will put the powerful, complicated art of the beat at the front of the stage. For once. — LEAH SOTTILE B.Durazzo with Citizen & JB Nimble, Sales Wagon, Rhaabai Root, Nobe • Fri, May 3, at 9 pm • Mootsy’s • 406 W. Sprague Ave. • $5 • 21+ • 838-1570

INDIE-FOLK IVAN & ALYOSHA
I
f you’re a fan of indie folk, then I don’t need to tell you about the power and splendor of Seattle’s Ivan & Alyosha. For starters, the act started as a two-piece band — but the guys’ names weren’t Ivan or Alyosha, silly (clearly, you haven’t been reading your Dostoyevsky). Over the past few years, the band has reached something of a regional indie darling status, even winning the affection of NPR. The band makes echoing, straightforward ballads — but they’re the kind of songs you could picture singing along to around a campfire, or driving to in the rain. Don’t miss this opportunity to catch the band in a tiny bar with about 49 of your closest friends. — LEAH SOTTILE Ivan & Alyosha with Jay Nash and Cursive Wires • Sun, May 5, at 8:30 pm • Carr’s Corner • 230 S.
