THE SUBURBS

7:30 p.m. • Minnesota Zoo • $34

One of the Twin Cities' all-time great live bands, the Suburbs are hanging on despite a death and personnel changes. Spaced-out guitarist/singer Beej Chaney, who lives in Los Angeles, seems sharper at every gig, and pianist/singer Chan Poling and drummer Hugo Klaers haven't missed a beat. Guitarist Steve Brantseg and bassist Steve Price have been the right additions to keep the dance-rock of "Love Is the Law," "Music for Boys" and other favorites timeless. Local garage-pop vets the Magnolias open.
