Weekend picks: Gothic punk, Nawlins soul and clever rhymes
FRIDAY
The Neville Brothers, Dr. John, the Lower 911 at the Austin Music Hall. Barring Professor Longhair rising from the dead, you can’t get any more N’awlins than this. Must … not … use … gumbo … as … a … description. 7 p.m. $52-$82. - Michael Corcoran

SATURDAY
De La Soul at Emo’s. ‘Three Feet High and Rising’ was an album that changed lives. This was hip-hop from a middle-class perspective, packed with smart, funny samples, clever rhymes and (well, OK, this didn’t turn out so well) lots of skits. This is the ‘20 Years High and Rising Tour,’ so, yeah, they’ll play ‘Me Myself and I.’ 10 p.m. $20. - Joe Gross

SUNDAY
The Dead Space at Beerland. Gothic punk without the Gothic costumes from this (slightly) underrated Austin band. They might as well be playing next door at Elysium. With Thee Makeout Party and the Mystery Lights. 10 p.m. $5. - J.G.
