Tough choice tonight. At The Waiting Room it’s The Dodos. Their new album, No Color, was released on Frenchkiss last Wednesday and includes a cameo by none other than Neko Case. Pitchfork gave the album a massive 7.6 (here). Opening is Philly low-fi duo Reading Rainbow (on the mighty HoZac label!). $12, 9 p.m.

Meanwhile, downtown at Slowdown Jr., it’s Now Now (formerly known as Now Now Every Children or NNEC) who release stuff on No Sleep Records. The epitome of what you think a female-fronted indie band would/should sound like, they’ve been a regular staple on Dave Leibowitz’s New Day Rising broadcast. Opening is Chicago blur-rockers Santah. $8, 9 p.m.
