Dischordia (w/ Necrotic Prioprism, Art Of The Process)
As of Tuesday, you should be able to handle loud noises and bright lights again. Why not squander that good fortune and listen to some brutal death metal until you’re temporarily deaf? OKC’s Dischordia headlines a night otherwise filled with NOLA’s heaviest, including one band that describes their sound as “creolecore.” Get intrigued.

Concord America (w/ Faux Ferocious, Mea Culpa)
Atlanta’s Concord America create music that sounds like it was recorded during a slack MF’ers rare burst of energy. Circle Bar pairs them with kindred spirits Faux Ferocious and Mea Culpa and continues its most excellent reign as “king of the bars where you can catch your new summer soundtrack for 5 bucks.” Before you ask, that doesn’t fit on their business cards.
Circle Bar. 1032 St. Charles Ave. 10 p.m. Tickets are $5.
