Deer Tick’s rabid fan base would make you think that this ragged cowpunk band is an arena headliner. In reality, the five-piece Rhode Islander outfit is still a club-level act, but not for long. Touring in support of last week’s release, “Divine Providence,” Deer Tick will land at the Larimer Lounge on Thursday. Search YouTube for a recent performance on “Letterman” — a rousing version of “Main Street,” one of the choice cuts off the new record. Tickets for the show, presented by Reverb and the UMS, are $18.50-$20 and available through .
Paper Diamond is the newest buzz-worthy DJ on the ever-crowded electronic music scene. Signed to Colorado native Derek Vincent Smith’s Pretty Lights Music record label, Paper Diamond had a breakout performance at the Snow Ball Music Festival in the Vail Valley last March, and quickly transformed from a supporting act to a top-billed artist. Experience the dance party at the Ogden Theatre tonight. Tickets, $20, are available through .
