Three bands from around the country will electrify The House Café, 263 E. Lincoln Highway, at 8 p.m. tonight.

Salt Lake City’s The Tremula will bring its raucous rock sound. The five-piece indie band, formerly called Redd Tape, is influenced by bands such as Le Tigre, Mates of State and Nick Drake.

Next on the bill is J+J+J, which has received a lot of attention for its super-friendly electro-pop sounds. J+J+J has played all over Chicago with local bands such as Bang! Bang! and Troubled Hubble. On this trip through town, the duo will be supporting its most recent release “They Hump While We Go Nuts.”

Glam-rock giant Bobby Conn and the Glass Gypsies are also on the bill.

“Conn is a legendary performer from the Thrill Jockey label,” said John Ugolini, talent buyer for The House Café.

This visit to DeKalb will be Conn’s second in less than a year. Conn will bring his beautifully constructed songs and lyrics, which speak to the problem of the consumer culture, for the return trip.

DeKalb favorite Local H will return Friday to Otto’s Niteclub, 118 E. Lincoln Highway.

This particular Local H show is special as it is an album release show for “Alive ‘05,” a new live album.

“It speaks volumes about how the band feels about Otto’s and its DeKalb fans,” Otto’s General Manager Jeremy Eisenberg said. “Believe it or not, DeKalb shows usually are better than any Chicago shows [the band] play[s]. [The band] sell[s] out every time. They play with a certain fervor unlike other shows.”

Chicago bands Treaty of Paris, and Maps and Atlases will open the show.

Treaty of Paris has a new album, “Behind our Calm Demeanor.”

“[Maps and Atlases are know for their] very complicated, mathy songs and tight musicianship,” Eisenberg said. The group also has material on a split EP with Antenora.

Tickets are $10 and the show starts at 9 p.m.
