Boondok Saints
More reggae-rock or hip-hop than ska, this 5-year-old Denver quintet will play a Cinco de Mayo bash with Haggardies, Kamarilla and Accessories tonight at Herman’s Hideaway, 1578 S. Broadway. 7 p.m. $3.
Rodrigo Sanchez
This Brazilian native and Boulder resident plays crisp, jazz-inflected pop with a laidback attitude. He performs Saturday at a Larimer Lounge day party with Capricorn, One Man Stands Together, and Elana Rogers & The Reason, 2721 Larimer St. 2 p.m. $5 or e-mail info@rodrigosanchez.com for free tickets.
Ultrachronic
These guys swear their band name isn’t a weed reference, but when you sound like 311 or Rage Against the Machine, your protests fall on deaf ears. See them Saturday with Optimal Frequency and Nonhero at Three Kings Tavern, 60 S. Broadway. 9 p.m. $3.
Yonder Mountain String Band
To celebrate the release of their new album, a self-titled debut on Vanguard Records, these Boulder bluegrass titans will play a show at Bart’s CD Cellar in Boulder, then stick around afterward to sign autographs. Get there early if you want a spot. Tuesday at 1015 Pearl St. 6 p.m. Free.
