Indie rock ‘n’ roll, ‘80s metal, movie stars, a fat man on roller skates and an Elvis costume? Oh yes, it’s that time again. Check out the downtown musical extravaganzas for this week.

Tomorrow night offers three awesome music options. The Decemberists will gather the artistic new-age folk music crowd. Old-timers will migrate towards Three Dog Night‘s casino tour. And, of course, punk and ‘80s metal fans will flock to see Danzig.

The Paramount will be hosting The Decemberists, who will play following opening act Alasdair Roberts. The Decemberists‘ indie-rock performance will be in support of their new album The Crane Wife, which hit stores in October. Their funky, slow melodic tunes are as unique as they are entertaining, with a sound comparable to Death Cab for Cutie. Tickets are $25 to $27. The show starts at 8 p.m.

The same evening, Three Dog Night will be playing in Tacoma at the Emerald Queen Casino. Hits from the ‘60s and ‘70s such as “Joy to the World,” “An Old Fashioned Love Song” and “Never Been to Spain” may ring a bell for classic-rock fans. Most can recall Three Dog Night‘s “Mama Told Me (Not to Come),” which appeared on the infamous Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas soundtrack. This show is for those 21 and up. Tickets are $25 to $55. Show starts at 9 p.m.

Also on Friday, Danzig will be performing in support of the Blackest of the Black Tour. Danzig will play with Lacuna Coil, The Haunted, Belphegor and Asesino at the Fenix Underground. Glenn Danzig, former lead singer of The Misfits, joins forces with members of Type O Negative, Samhain, and Doomtree to form a hybrid band full of heavy-metal mania. Time to bring out the Devilock, kids. Tickets are $23, and the show starts at 7 p.m.

Sunday, 30 Seconds to Mars will play the Fenix Underground. They will headline with Head Automatica and Cobra Starship. 30 Seconds to Mars has proven itself through years of touring with Lollapalooza, Incubus and other big names. Now, the band will brave its own headlining tour. Singer Jared Leto may be a familiar face to fans of the silver-screen hits Alexander, Panic Room or Lord of War. Other than a movie-star lead vocalist, the band is a moving force behind the new wave of alternative rock. Using space-age sounds, vicious vocals and solid musical buildup, the 30 Seconds to Mars performance is one to mark on the calendar. Tickets are $22. Show begins at 8 p.m.

Tuesday night, El Corazon and Infinite Productions presents Hellogoodbye, Reggie and the Full Effect, Cute Is What We Aim For and David Melillo. Hellogoodbye is the closest thing to nerd rock since Weezer took the stage. The band’s techno-rock sound brings you back to the days of your mom’s prom dances.

But if you think the night is full of all fun and games, please take warning: Reggie and the Full Effect is quite possibly the most scarring live performance to date. The musically challenged set is as appalling as its heavyweight lead singer, who for some reason unknown to anyone in the room decided to finish up a Seattle performance a few years ago in a shining, spandex Elvis costume — complete with roller skates. If you can stomach this, the rest of the show should be entertaining. Tickets will cost you $15 — vomit-inducing roller dancing, free of charge. The show starts at 7 p.m.
