Boise, Idaho's band, Built to Spill, are coming up on 20 years of working together, and they aren't slowing down. Led by bearded guitar hero Doug Martsch, the group has kept a loyal following, and, along with bands like Dinosaur Jr., formed something of a link between 1990s alt-rock and the indie rock of today. Any fan of Band of Horses or My Morning Jacket will appreciate Martsch's densely rocking guitar suites, and you can even hear a bit of the Shins or Death Cab for Cutie in his plaintive way with a melody and wobbly Neil-Young-ish croon. BTS hasn't put out a record since 2009, but here's hoping they'll play a career spanning set that dips into classics like 1997's Perfect From Now On and 2001's Ancient Melodies of the Future. Doors 7pm, $20.
