Music / Nightlife

The Moondoggies will headline the Everett Fishermans Village Music Festival.

Members of the Moondoggies often wear homemade shirts that read “Everett (expletive) kickers” as an homage to their hometown. Now the band will get a chance to perform in front of its hometown fans when it headlines the Everett Fishermans Village Music Festival along with Gardens and Villa, La Luz, Rose Windows  and others.

The festival takes place May 16-17 on the downtown Everett waterfront. Tickets are $55 and are good for admission to both days.

The full lineup:

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. turned in a satisfying set of electropop tunes at Neumos Wednesday night.

With fuzzed-out bombast, Detroit electropop outfit Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. cruised through a tight set at Neumos Wednesday night.

If the smell of Washington’s newest legal vice wafting in the air wasn’t enough to set a party atmosphere, the funky, self-assured “Hiding,” from 2013′s “The Speed of Things,” did the trick. The band wisely chose to eschew the subtlety of its recordings for in-your-face bass meant to get people’s bodies moving.

Don’t let their unfortunate name scare you off.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., a quirky electronic indie pop duo from Detroit, makes music good enough to forgive a dubious choice or two. They’re at Neumos tonight with Oxford electro-popster Chad Valley, who peddles in danceable, syrupy synth hooks.

Chad Valley makes music that will get people moving, but those with a keen ear should appreciate Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. (from here on known as DEJJ to save us all some time) for its deeper bag of tricks.
