James Murphy is the ultimate genre-bender. LCD Soundsystem has been multifariously pegged as acid house, dance rock, post punk, garage rock, pop and disco. With all these tags, it's difficult to see that LCD Soundsystem is only one guy. Murphy's third record, This Is Happening, has received plenty of positive reviews for its appeal to the adult music enthusiasts. If Murphy's cocktail seems too bland for some, keep in mind that noise blasters, Sleigh Bells, opens up the night.

Detroit rock and disco punk comes to State Theatre via Electric Six. The niche sound hasn't stopped these guys from doing what they do. Electric Six has 8 albums in their discography with each record changing shape. Tampa's progressive rock duo, GreyMarket gets things started.

Indie darlings Matt Pond PA will once again play an always memorable set on the patio of NWB this week. The band's latest record, The Dark Leaves, is short and sweet with 10 tracks and just about 40 minutes of play time but nothing is left to be desired as the usual moody and emotive offerings fill up the album. Be forewarned, this may be more sombre and withdrawn than most MPA efforts but without a doubt, just as lovely.

Perhaps holding the title as one of the top five records of the year, The National have a safe journey into 2010's rock diaries. High Violet takes the minimalist approach of the band to new heights as every subtle drum pattern and guitar chord is carried beyond its singular expectation into simple yet elaborate splendor. The songs on this record are nothing but beautiful and to see them live at this time may be a life event. Multi-instrumentalist, Owen Pallett will open.

Perhaps the biggest icon that will ever walk the USF campus, Bob Dylan will be taking his 5 decades of folk rock and blues to the Sundome. Dylan's neverending tour has been ongoing since the late 80s. Shows have been unpredictable with praise and reproof but one thing remains constant, the man is a legend and to see him even once would be a moment you won't forget. Who cares what's been released as of late. The old stuff is what you really want to hear. Be prepared to be sitting next to your professors. Yeah, they're not always lame.
