This alternative-rock trio propelled itself back into the music scene when they released its newest album, the Sound of the Life of the Mind, after a decade-long dry spell of no new tunes. The piano-driven beats are fast-paced, and combined with the band’s witty lyrics, create intelligent and catchy songs such as “Do it Anyway,” and “Draw a Crowd.” Wed 8 p.m.
