Crib Notes

DIPLO, ABE VIGODA, BOY 8-BIT, TELEPATHE, PAPER ROUTE GANGSTAZ Internationally renowned Hollertronix party DJ and electro-funk icon Diplo heads up this traveling caravan of cutting-edge artists. Tropicalia-inflected underdogs of the L.A. post-punk scene Abe Vigoda, along with Mad Decent, Boy 8-Bit, Paper Route Gangstaz and NYC abstract electro duo Telepathe fill out the bill with a roster of divine sounds, fringe art punk and hip-hop that’s more concerned about pushing the arts than posturing. $12. 8:30 p.m. The Masquerade. 404-577-8178. www.masq.com. — Chad Radford

MAGNETIC MORNING is a collaboration between Interpol drummer and recent Athens transplant Sam Fogarino and Swervedriver singer/guitarist Adam Franklin. Their debut full-length, A.M., balances spaced-out quietude with a roar of guitar resonance. At the heart of it all is a shared admiration for lush pop tones. In their hands, songs are alternately pushed to the brink of sensory overload before being reeled back in for a dose of psychedelic melancholy. Sleep Therapy and Creepy also perform. $10. 9 p.m. The Earl, 488 Flat Shoals Road. 404-522-3950. www.badearl.com. — CR

For today’s installment of Roll Call we call out Sam Fogarino, the enigmatic drummer behind Interpol and his new group, Magnetic Morning. The latter group is a more recent collaboration between Fogarino and Swervedriver singer/guitarist Adam Franklin, Jimmy LaValle (the Album Leaf), FA Blasco and Josh Stoddard. Their debut full-length, A.M., balances spaced-out quietude with deep dark resonance. At the heart of it all is a shared admiration for lush pop tones that pushed to the brink of sensory overload before reeling back in for a dose of slow motion melancholy.
