See & Do - Music: Minus the Bear April 30 2010

Mon., May 10

MINUS THE BEAR’s shifty arrangements are shaped by prog and math rock, infused with soothing Northwestern pop melodicism reminiscent of Death Cab and Modest Mouse. Their latest, Omni, signals a new direction into soul and dancier, synth-driven tones. Everest and Young the Giant also perform. $20-$22.50. 8 p.m. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave. 404-524-7354. www.variety-playhouse.com.
