1. Spiritualized w/ the Dirtbombs

8 p.m. July 21, $16, the Vogue, 6259 N. College Ave., (317) 259-7029.

In what arguably could be the best club show of the summer, and maybe the entire year, Spiritualized comes to the Vogue with the Dirtbombs opening. Spiritualized brings a trance/psychedelic wall of sound, while Detroit's Dirtbombs, with their raw Motown rock sound, are a live-band legend. Either act would be an exciting headliner; together they make for a must-see show. In a late-breaking addition to the bill, Thunders will appear as a special guest.

2. Foo Fighters, with Supergrass

7:30 p.m. July 23, $25-$45, Conseco Fieldhouse, 125 Pennsylvania St., (317) 239-5151.

Once upon a time, arena shows were the norm in rock music. Now few bands have the following to fill an arena. Foo Fighters are the exception. The modern rock quartet, headed by ex-Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, has landed 23 singles on the U.S. charts. Five of the band's six albums have cracked the Top 10. British rockers Supergrass hold down opening duties.

6 p.m. July 20, free, American Legion Mall, 401 N. Meridian St., (317) 239-5151

4. Elf Power w/ Ham1

9 p.m. July 17, $6, Radio Radio, 1119 E. Prospect. St. (317) 955-0995

Hardcore indie rock fans will instantly recognize Elf Power as part of Elephant Six, the collective that released some of the most acclaimed albums of recent years. If you don't travel in hipster circles, check out this band if you like lo-fidelity eclectic pop music.

5. Charlie Hunter Trio

8 and 10 p.m. July 20, $20, Jazz Kitchen, 5377 N College Ave (317) 253-4900

Charlie Hunter's unusual journey in music started in the political hip-hop group Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, alongside Michael Franti. After that, Hunter started a solo career that spotlighted his guitar style. Combining traditional and finger-tapping styles of playing on six-, seven-, and eight-string guitars, Hunter has found ways to make his instruments sound like blues guitars and Hammond organs. He tours in support of his latest album, "Altitude (Groundtruther)."

Hoosier natives and frequent top 10 visitors Haste the Day made its name with a spiritual metal sound that earned fans nationwide. This show is unique for a couple of reasons. The usually 21-and-older Music Mill goes all ages. The show is also a benefit for the Red Cross and its efforts to help victims of recent tornadoes and floods in Indiana.

8. Mickey Hart Band, featuring Steve Kimock, George Porter Jr. and Kyle Hollingsworth

8 p.m. July 22, $30, The Vogue, 6259 N College Ave., (317) 259-7029

Mickey Hart's resume as a member of the Grateful Dead and world music performer should be enough to draw interest to this show.
