DEAD PREZ - Home to Luke and Big Pun, Loud Records is not exactly known as a home for progressive, politically-oriented hip-hop. But with its latest, signing, Brooklyn duo Dead Prez, that may be changing. And by blending Loud’s hitmaking sound with lots of leftie signifiers, Dead Prez might find themselves in a comfortable middle-ground between the Coup and Rage Against the Machine. For more info on the show, call 404-628-9140. Liun’s Lair/680 Murphy St. (Sarig)

GROOVE HOLMES BAND - GHB (presumably not a drug reference) are a very collegiate sounding Dave Matthews/Blues Traveler amalgam from Connecticut. Hey, the future George Dubyas of the world need to get funky too. Smith’s Olde Bar (Sarig)

MOTOMASA & EVE - The tag team DJs spin a three-hour set of ambient jungle and deep house - including material featured on their new mix tapes, Let it Be and 2asOne. Joe Muggs/3275 Peachtree (Sarig)
