Agaperaygunpexperiments / Sat, Jul 9 (8 pm) And the winner for longest band name is: Agaperaygunpexperiments. Presumably very experimental, the self-proclaimed "art against the frontlines," band is releasing a CD. (Artery, $10)
Titans Eve / Sunday, Jul 10 (8 pm) A metal show in a tiny venue? This could get interesting. Titans Eve's latest album is based on Milton's Paradise Lost, so it might get deep too. (Artery, $10)
The Afterbeat / Fri, Jul 8 (9 pm) Straight from the home of the Jets, the two-toned ska sounds of the Afterbeat are synonymous with summer. Welcome the boys from Winnipeg. (New City, $10)

DJ Shadow / Wed, Jul 13 (8 pm) From his debut on the turntablist, genre-inspiring Entroducing..... to his soulful collabs with Jurassic Five DJ Cut Chemist on Product Placement, DJ Shadow (Josh Davis) has become one of the most-respected names in hip-hop DJ culture. DJ Shadow is a legend whose visit to Edmonton is long overdue. (Edmonton Event Centre, $30)
