1) Bradford Cox, Deerhunter’s frontman, recently uploaded a concept map onto the band’s website. The map diagrams the interconnected influences on 2015’s Fading Frontier, such as Tom Petty and INXS’s Kick. In the map’s center is, unsurprisingly, “getting hit by car walking Faulkner (dog).” The accident happened in 2014; Cox’s recovery proved artistic fodder for Fading Frontier, the Atlanta indie band’s seventh studio album. It’s the latest entry into a critically lauded, although often commercially overlooked, discography, one which includes 2008’s Microcastle and Weird Era Cont. and 2010’s Halcyon Digest. Songs like “Snakeskin” imbue the experimental with a punk-rock attitude. By playing their songs a little more aggressively, they further crystalize that attitude during live shows, like their upcoming one at Mr. Smalls. You may recognize Cox from the 2013 movie Dallas Buyers Club. He played Sunflower, Rayon (Jared Leto)’s lover. Deerhunter’s other longtime members are guitarist Lockett Pundt and drummer Moses Archuleta. Palm opens. 8 p.m. 400 Lincoln Ave., Millvale. (CM)
2) Cappy’s Cafe in Shadyside is holding a Team Trivia contest tonight with Trivia Master John. 9 – 11 p.m. Yuengling draft special is $3 for a 20 oz. brew. 5431 Walnut St.
