With South By Southwest safely in the rearview, the country is officially in full-on concert mode. Bands are continuing their tours out of Austin, making their way up the west coast, and eventually landing in our neck of the woods. Adding to the music overload is the recent announcement that the Sasquatch! Festival has canceled their second weekend, which was to take place over Fourth of July. Because of this, dozens of amazing bands are left with holes in their schedules, and will likely be finding other (more affordable) venues in the Pacific Northwest.

With this in mind, here's a brief rundown of some notable Pacific Northwest shows happening in the coming months.

Neil Finn

As the frontman for New Zealand pop group Crowded House, Neil Finn blazed a trail of emotionally rich, melodically pristine music. For more than 30 years, Finn has remained a prolific singer-songwriter, eventually branching out into solo work. His most recent release, Dizzy Heights, continues his streak of gentle exploration, and his sweetly indelible voice remains a highlight. w/Midlake, 8 p.m., Sunday, March 30, Neptune Theatre, 1303 NE 45th St., Seattle, $43.50, 206.682.1414

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings

Over the years, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings have established themselves as the premier purveyors of tight-as-a-drum classic soul and R&B. Their rhythm section is unmatched, and Sharon Jones is a beast of a performer. As thrilling as their records are, their live show is not to be missed. w/James Hunter, 7 p.m., Tuesday, April 1, Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W. Burnside St., Portland, $25-$30, 503.223.0109; w/ James Hunter, 7 p.m., Wednesday, April 2-Thursday, April 3, Showbox at the Market, 1426 First Ave., Seattle, $31.50, 206.628.3151

‘Mo-Wave

The 'Mo-Wave Festival is a neon, blaring rallying cry for all things outside the norm. From April 11 through 13, 'Mo-Wave will be bringing a dizzying cavalcade of queer artists from around the country, featuring personal favorites such as Carletta Sue Kay, Night Cadet and Tacocat, as well as national headliners such as Justin Bond and Christeene. For those three days, expect a whirlwind of flamboyant performances, oddball entertainers and droves of unique artists. 7 p.m., Friday, April 11, 4 p.m. Saturday, April 12, 3 p.m. Sunday, April 13, Chop Suey, 1325 E. Madison St., Seattle, $15 per show, $40 weekend pass, www.mowavefestival.com

Sleeper Agent

Sleeper Agent's first LP, Celebrasion, debuted like a warning shot. From the word "go," it was made abundantly clear that this band was not at all interested in fucking around. Their pop punk is bursting at the seams with ideas, not content to settle down for one moment. Each song packs enough punch for three. After a couple years in hibernation, they're back with About Last Night. Brace yourselves. w/HOLYCHILD, Pagiins, 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, April 22, Showbox at the Market, 1426 First Ave., Seattle, $12, 206.628.3151; w/HOLYCHILD, Pagiins, 7:45 p.m., Wednesday, April 23, Doug Fir Lounge, 830 Burnside St., Portland, $12, 503.231.9663

Kishi Bashi

I first saw Kishi Bashi as the opener for Of Montreal, where he threatened to steal the show. A solo performer, utilizing a loop pedal, a violin, and his voice, Kishi Bashi is a joy to watch - building songs from beat-boxed rhythms and capping them off with luscious melodies. 7:30 p.m., Monday, May 19, Wonder Ballroom, 128 NE Russell St., Portland, $15, 503.284.8686; 8 p.m., Tuesday, May 20, Showbox at the Market, 1426 First Ave., Seattle, $17, 206.628.3151

Lorelle Meets the Obsolete

This psych-rock duo out of Guadalajara, Mexico, enchants with repetitive rhythms and fields of haze. Occasionally tripping over unexpectedly gorgeous melodies. Indebted to Krautrock as much as '60s garage fuzz, Lorelle Meets the Obsolete are utterly hypnotic. w/Billions and Billions,10 p.m., Thursday, May 29, Le Voyeur, 404 E. Fourth Ave., Olympia, cover tba, 360.943.5710

Eels

As summer approaches, what better way to greet it than with an Eels concert? Since the mid-'90s, Eels (led by Mark Oliver Everett, AKA "E") have been the platonic ideal of a pristine indie pop band. Though often submerged in a lo-fi sound, the immaculate, melancholy, and always adventurous songcraft of Eels always shone through. w/ Chelsea Wolfe, 8 p.m., Saturday, June 7, The Moore Theater, 1932 Second Ave., Seattle, $35, 206.467.5510; w/ Chelsea Wolfe, 7 p.m., Sunday, June 8, Aladdin Theater, 3017 Milwaukie Ave., Portland, $35, 503.234.9694
