SCYTHIAN This band of gypsies doesn't need to goad people into shaking their booties. As soon as the members jump into their rousing blend of Celtic, Klezmer, zydeco, bluegrass and global sounds, the crowd is already shuffling its feet. The reels, fiddle-blasted toe tappers, and chant-a-longs prove that a classically trained crew can bring on the party. With Delta Rae. $10-$12, Neighborhood Theatre, www.neighborhoodtheatre.com

BUZZO*EN Like a re-awakened pack of zombies marching down dark alleys, guitars blasting sludge, punk and metal, Charlotte-spawned Buzzov*en has lost no steam since its debut two decades ago. Off and on over the years, lead growler and guitarist Kirk Fisher has remained constant, still hellbent on shattering eardrums and igniting tussles. This five-show tour features the line-up from the At a Loss album. With Nachtmystium, Black Tusk, Zoroaster, and other twisted noisemakers. $16-$18, Tremont Music Hall, www.tremontmusichall.com
