Vita.mn presents its inaugural Autumn Music and Movies Series outdoors at the Lake Harriet Band Shell. Produced in cooperation with the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board, the four-week series features a range of Minnesota musicians paired with their favorite and most inspiring films. One For The Team will take the stage at 5:30 p.m. and play as the sun sets before introducing "Bottle Rocket" around 7:15 p.m.
Guests are encouraged to bring their own picnic baskets and blankets, as evenings this time of year in the Twin Cities typically dip into the mid-50s. Food and drink, as well as artist merchandise, will be available on-site for purchase. Check Vita.mn for all updates concerning inclement weather, cancellations and venue changes. The event is free to the public with seating first-come, first-served.

Offering more traces of the Smiths and Suede than a preppy London pub, British mope-pop band Wild Beasts finally makes it to town in support of its weirdly fascinating second album for Domino Records, “Two Dancers.”

As Halloween, Alaska succinctly put it in an e-mail that compared sound engineers to airplane captains, music fans aren’t supposed to know who A Benefit for Matt Lindquist is for. You’d only notice Lindquist if he was running a show into the ground.

Review: Another group not celebrating Christmas is the Orthodox Christians — eastern Europeans who observe the Nativity on Jan. 7. That’s why this week’s edition of International Thursday at Soundbar is “Back to the Balkans” night for local Greeks and Serbians (and probably some Bosnian Serbs and other Slavic types). Expect plenty of festive folk songs set to a Eurodisco beat. Hint to westeners: Dance with your arms up in the air, and you’ll fit right in. S.P.G.

After sparking a slow, steady burn among alt-country/Americana fans for the past half-decade, Bloomington, Ill., hellraisers Backyard Tire Fire add a little more fuel to the blaze with its strong new album, “Good to Be”
“Heartbeat Radio,” the latest disc by cuddly Norwegian indie-pop star Sondre Lerche, merits comparisons to Andrew Bird and Sufjan Stevens with its playful, lyrical orchestral pop.
