Hot Tuna has welcomed nearly two dozen members over its 40 years, but ex- Jefferson Airplane players Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady are the constants. The band plays the Paramount tonight with Loudon Wainwright III. $27.50-$37.50.
Moderat is the collaboration of German electro-maniacs Modeselektor and Apparat, whose eponymous debut is already one of the year’s most bracing releases. They play Beta on Saturday with video art group Pfadfinderei. $10.
Peaches has proved herself more than just a raunchy gimmick over the years by backing her boundary- and button- pushing rhymes with great electro-rock. She visits the Gothic on Monday with Drums of Death. $20. Also at the Gothic: Doves, the atmospheric U.K. pop outfit, stops by Tuesday to promote new album “Kingdom of Rust,” with Wild Lights. $20.
Punk Rocks 2009 returns to Red Rocks for its second year with relatively old-school punk acts the Offpsring and the Vandals as well as young whippersnappers Alkaline Trio, Street Dogs and Frontside Five. Thursday. $39.50.
