Influential punk/metal act Melvins swing by Plush on Tuesday.

The group, with almost a quarter-century in the game, released a new album this year, "Nude With Boots," which is full of chunky riffs and pounding drums.

Melvins have a history too extensive for these pages, but let's just say the late Kurt Cobain was what one might call "a fan."

Hard rockers Big Business will open at 9:30 p.m. The cover is $13.

Classic rockers Three Dog Night are hitting Desert Diamond Casino and not overcharging.

Tickets are a nice $18 to hear live renditions of "One," "Joy to the World," and "Mama Told Me (Not To Come.)"

Not bad for a Saturday night, right boomers?

The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are available through ticketmaster.com.

Seattle's Head Like a Kite makes soundscape blends that mix rock, hip-hop and ambient- sounds, sort of like Spoon meets DJ Shadow.

The group's second album, "There Is Loud Laughter Everywhere," features guest appearances from members of The Long Winters and Crooked Fingers.

Head Like a Kite plays Plush Sunday with Tucson's L Eye and 21 Pump Street. The show starts at 9 p.m. and costs $6.

The one and only Bob Log III will make a special return appearance to Tucson at Plush on Saturday.

If you're not familiar with Log, here's three things to know: space helmet, loud guitar, one-man band.

He used to live in Tucson, so this is going to be a nice reunion and probably packed.

The show starts at 9:30 p.m. with openers Left Lane Cruiser and good 'ol Tom Walbank. It'll cost you $8.

The sleeper show of the week is happening . . . in a week.

Washington, D.C.'s These United States will play Plush next Thursday at 9:30 p.m.

These guys played on a bill earlier this year at Plush with Bon Iver and were as just as good as the group's debut album, "A Picture of the Three of Us at the Gate to the Garden of Eden."

Oh, and next Thursday's show is free.

Lisa Otey and Diane Van Deurzen will share the Z Mansion stage with Otey's mom, Gay, and brother David for two special performances next week.

The shows on Monday and Tuesday were originally scheduled for Aug. 4, but were canceled when Otey's father died.

The rescheduled concerts will pay tribute to Otey's father and to Van Deurzen's mother, who died in July.

Otey is a heralded Tucson blues singer and boogie-woogie pianist, while her partner, Van Deurzen, is a respected vocalist. Otey's brother plays trombone and has a regular gig on Princess cruise ships. Her mom anchors the ensemble at piano and vocals.

Monday's and Tuesday's concerts begin at 7 p.m. at Z Mansion, 288 N. Church Ave. Tickets are $20 online at www.lisaotey.com. For reservations, call 370-5912.

Carlos Santana will be skipping Tucson while on tour this fall, opting to make the Cricket Pavilion in Phoenix his one stop through Arizona.

If you're not up for the drive, Rhythm & Roots and the Fox Foundation have have joined forces to put on Steel Ribbon's "Tribute to Santana" Saturday night at the Fox Tucson Theatre, 17 W. Congress St.

Founded by guitarist Dale Romero and bassist Jim Randall in 1990, Steel Ribbon promises to serve up the full Santana experience complete with an extensive repertoire.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $15 in advance and $17 the day of through the Fox, 547-3040.
