Thursday, Sept. 25
Sonora Tukukuy, El Dusty
Miami’s Sonora Tukukuy updates cumbia music for a new generation. This is a tight, catchy band that’s designed to get people dancing. Meanwhile, Corpus Christi’s El Dusty takes a DJ approach to the infectious Latin musical style, and he knows a thing or two about getting people onto the dance floor as well. $15, 8 p.m., The Lighthouse, 1016 Cincinnati Ave., instagram.com/thelighthouselounge. — Bill Baird

Warmduscher, J’cuuzi
UK’s Warmduscher crafts infectious synth-pop, complete with matching stage uniforms. The band has been classified as “post-punk,” but that might be stretching things a bit. This sounds like good, old pop music as played by a tight band. Warmduscher has played all the major UK fests including Glastonbury and Iggy Pop and Kool Keith have both guested on their albums, so something special’s happening. Austin-based opener J’cuuzi, named July’s Artist of the Month by KUTX, will bring raw energy to kick off the night. 8 p.m., $21, Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary’s St., papertigersatx.com. — BB

The Struts, Velvet Chains
British glam rockers The Struts are touring to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their breakout album Everybody Wants. The band’s throwback sound builds on influences such as Queen, the Darkness and the Strokes but not without new elements that make it distinctive. The Struts’ 2023 album Pretty Vicious showed an evolution to a more contemporary sound. $46.94-$114.51, 9:15 p.m., Stable Hall, 307 Pearl Parkway, stablehall.com. — Danny Cervantes
