Flor de Toloache
Tuesday, November 15, 7 p.m.
Marquis Theater, 2009 Larimer Street
$22
Named after a sacred flower that grows in Mexico, this all-female mariachi band has a sound that can equally swoon you or get you groovin’ on the dance floor. These New York-based ladies have taken a centuries-old musical style and diversified it for the masses with their new take on the traditional mariachi sound. Denver local support act Fruta Brutal opens the night.
CocoRosie

Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox, 1215 20th Street
$30.50-$60
Sisters Sierra Rose “Rosie” and Bianca Leilani “Coco” Casady bring their unique flavor of folk, pop, blues and opera to Denver. Sierra combines classically trained opera singing with Bianca’s beatboxing to create a sound unlike any other.
The Murlocs
Friday, November 18, 8 p.m.
Bluebird Theater, 3317 East Colfax Avenue
$18
This Melbourne-based psychedelic garage-rock group has members in other prominent Australian bands, such as King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Taking its name from a mythological creature that “fiends for the oracle,” the band’s fuzzy live sound is always sure to evoke some strangeness in the crowd. Support artist Paul Jacobs from Montreal opens the night.
Liquid Stranger

Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop Street

Cleaner
Saturday, November 19, 9 p.m.
hi-dive, 7 South Broadway
$12-$15
High-energy punk-rock outfit Cleaner is what some might call a supergroup, including musicians from local acts such as Colfax Speed Queen and the Dirty Few. Fellow Denver bands the Born Readies, Glueman and Fossil Blood open the night at the hi-dive on Saturday.
PK Williams & Thomas Pridgen (an annual celebration of existence)
Sunday, November 20, 4 p.m.
Larimer Lounge, 2721 Larimer Street
$22-$25
Spirited emcee PK Williams is bringing renowned drummer Thomas Pridgen to the Larimer Lounge on Sunday.

Thomas’s new “neo-psychedelic disco-funk” project, Big Trippin’, will be gracing the stage at the Larimer Lounge this weekend.
