Here's the lineup on Philly stages tonight and in the coming week

Live music and more, tonight through Thursday, compiled by Shaun Brady, Tom Di Nardo, James Johnson, Sara Sherr and Jonathan Takiff.

POP . . . plus

 

Delta Spirit: The tunes are jaunty, the lyrics ominously real in tunes like "911," "Salt in the Wound" and "Devil Knows Your Dead" playing out on their instructive new set, "History from Below." San Diego-based but spiritual kin (and sometime road mates) of Philly's Dr. Dog, you'll get caught up in their swirl of pub rock, bluesy Americana and folk, and big picture visions about this unpromising land. Ezra Furman and the Harpoons, plus the Romany Rye open. First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut St., 8 tonight, $14-$15, 215-821-7575, www.r5productions.com. (Delta Spirit also can be heard performing live along with the following duo, noon today on WXPN, 88.5 FM.)

She and Him: Those movie star/celeb musician collaborations can be dicey. But the second volume from She and Him, combining the singing/songwriting talents of our favorite on-screen flirt Zooey Deschanel and the inestimable M(att) Ward in dreamy, romantic, well-harmonized alt-pop settings suggests both are taking this thing seriously. And in person, they're surely oozing with charisma. Jolie Holland supports. River Stage, Great Plaza at Penn's Landing, Columbus Boulevard at Chestnut Street, 8 tonight, $26/29, four pack $78 ($19.50 each), 215-336-2000, ticketmaster.com.

Faith No More: Resounding rockers are back in traction after a 12-year hiatus. Feeling the faith again? Mann Center for the Performing Arts, 52nd Street and Parkside Avenue, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, $25, 35, $49.50, 215-893-1999, manncenter.org.

Beats Walkin': Jump and jive with these frisky, Philly-based practioneers of the hillbilly jazz hybrid known as Texas swing. Lindsay Gilmour sings first. Bryn Mawr Gazebo, 9 S. Bryn Mawr Ave., Bryn Mawr, 7 p.m. tomorrow, $10 donation (ages 16 and under free), 610-864-4303, brynmawrtwilightconcerts.com.

Caravan Palace: Popular Paris six-piece (guitar, violin, clarinets, double bass, trombone, synth beats, plus vocals) fuses Django Reinhardt-style gypsy jazz with elements of house, dub and hip-hop. World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St., 8 p.m. Wednesday, $19-$26, 215-222-1400, www.worldcafelive.com.
