FIVE MORE ACTS TO SEE AT UP + DT:

Tei Shi, Friday night at the

■

Starlite Room. Born in Argentina, raised in Vancouver, currently living in New York, Tei Shi (aka Valerie Teicher) slyly describes what she does as “mermaid music.” Music writers tend to file it under indie R&B, and have been swooning over her latest record, Crawl Space, especially first single Keep Running.

Dan Deacon, Saturday night at the Starlite Room. Deacon is an electronic weirdo, and his records, as good as they are, really don’t do any justice to his off-the-wall concert antics. His most recent project, the soundtrack to the documentary Rat Film, had Deacon setting up theremins that responded to the movements of the title subjects.

Agent Orange, Saturday night at Brixx. As with most bands going into their fourth decade, LA surf-punk legends Agent Orange are down to one original member, frontman Mike Palm. They don’t often make it out here, though, and it’ll be worth it just to hear the early punk classic Bloodstains come from the mouth of the man who wrote it.

DJ Marky, Sunday night at the Needle Vinyl Tavern. Brazilian drum and bass came to world attention after DJ Marky took up a residency in London, where he went from a popular club fixture to global success in the space of a few years. He’s managed to keep a profile in the rapidly changing world of club music with such tracks as LK.

The Highest Order, Sunday night at the Yellowhead Brewery. Toronto-based psychedelic country-rock outfit with a penchant for cosmic meanderings, and probably the band you should make the most effort to see. Fronted by talented singersongwriter Simone Schmidt, who is also appearing at the festival under her solo folk moniker, Fiverr. Go. Seriously.
