Oneida are a prolific and genre-busting group of Brooklyn scene-makers. An itchy energy in their songs telegraphs their persistent search for (and discovery of) new sounds. While they mostly draw inspiration from '70s punk and experimental music, there are flourishes of electronica, folk, Krautrock and the occasional flirtation with guitar-centric indie rock. An ever-present appreciation for rhythm has defined their sometimes difficult music, serving to soften the edges of what threatens to become too exclusionary. This rhythm is also a good indicator of what you might see when they blow through Olympia. Relentless beats and squalls of noise practically promise sweaty dance workouts. It's not every day that a band can experiment ceaselessly like Oneida, and still deliver the goods in a live setting. 

[Capitol Theatre, with Arrington de Dionyso's Malaikat dan Singa, the Lights, 8 p.m., $8, 206 Fifth Ave. SE, Olympia, 360.754.6670]
