Like a Brick Works mouse …

Great indie band Modest Mouse (pictured) hits the Brick Works! Having started in the mid-'90s as mere teens in the Pacific Northwest community of Issaquah, Washington, the band demonstrated early a knack for lyrical and musical depth, as well as wrenching some unexpected twists and folds out of its song structures. This is an all-ages show. Tickets: $12 in advance; $13 at the door. Happens at The Brick Works, 191 East Second St. More information: (530) 895-7700; www.thebrickworks.com.
