MONSTRO The members of Monstro have clocked much time with a stack of indie and metal bands over the past few years. The quartet formed in early 2009 in Atlanta, and immediately set off on a mood-laden metal trip. Spacey tunes pay tribute to Pink Floyd and Helios Creed while their combined veteran rockers status spews a fine blend of ambient as well as hard rock.

LADY GAGA Not too long ago, Lady Gaga was touring small clubs with just an outfit or two, but these days, her massive production is more like a musical than a concert with more than a dozen wardrobe changes. While many see her as something fresh and innovative, I remember Madonna's early days and feel like I've seen all of this before. Are people really paying $200 to see her?

THE BLACK CROWES After two decades in the industry, the Black Crowes are saying thank you. Their "Say Goodbye to the Bad Guys Tour" is essentially a last hoorah before they take an indefinite hiatus. Luckily for long-time fans, the band is giving them a lot of show before they, potentially, call it quits. First there's a 90-minute, all acoustic set followed by a 90-minute electric set. Must be nice to have that much good material. $52-$65, Road Runner Mobile Amphitheatre, www.livenation.com (Mike McCray)
