MUSIC: ALVVAYS Canada’s trend of indie gone international can be traced back to sensational bands like Arcade Fire, Tegan & Sara, Metric, and more recently, Alvvays. This indie-pop quintet has relied on the strength of a dreamy sonic palette, primed by the airy vocal work of singer and guitarist Molly Rankin, whose musical pedigree can be traced back to the award-winning folk group The Rankin Family. Alvvays’ 2014 self-titled LP cemented the band in listeners’ minds with a handful of memorable tracks like the shoegazey love letter “Archie, Marry Me.” On the band’s third album, 2022’s Blue Rev, Alvvays demonstrates growth in virtually every area, from the production to the jangly application of its bright melodies. Single “Belinda Says”—a swelling homage to The Go-Go’s Belinda Carlisle—even stacked up against musical contenders like Boygenius, Lana Del Rey and Arctic Monkeys at the Grammys this year for Best Alternative Music Performance. Needless to say, this scrappy indie outfit is on its way, and you won’t want to miss its Vegas debut. With Joanna Sternberg. 7:30 p.m., $30-$40, Brooklyn Bowl, tick

PARTY: BRUNCH CLUB UNIVERSITY Maybe you’ve day-partied with one of our favorite local DJs, Maria Romano, and her merry musical friends at Brunch Club University, the roving bash that’s taken over Jing at Downtown Summerlin, the new General Admission sports bar at UnCommons, and other off-Strip spots. But maybe ... you haven’t. Correct this oversight when BCU hits the Strip this weekend at Resorts World’s transportive Ayu pool club. This party is already big on atmosphere and an energetic buildup; we can’t wait to see how it will fit the vibes at one of the Boulevard’s top daytime destinations. Noon, $20-$30+, Ayu Dayclub, zoukgrouplv.com. –Brock Radke

Ekkstacy

MUSIC: EKKSTACY With Alexsucks, 8 p.m., Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com.

MUSIC: IDLES The concept of danceable post-punk has been around for a minute, at least since Gang of Four became one of its foundational practitioners in the late 1970s. Yet the number of modern-day acts with a mastery of this sound is almost vanishingly small, which is why groups that have it on lock—like Leeds, England five-piece Idles—hit you like a wet slap. You can dance to Idles; you can mosh to Idles; you can co-opt their lyrics as personal statements of identity. (“Strong like bull/vu-vu-vulnerable” is one of my personal favorites.) For these exact reasons, Idles’ latest album Tangk is one of the best records of 2024 so far. Hear it performed at full, move-your-body volume at Brooklyn Bowl, along with songs from several other albums that feel just as revolutionary. With Protomartyr. 7 p.m., $43-$65, Brooklyn Bowl, ticketmaster.com. –Geoff Carter
