La Luz: Always ready to party.

Wed & Thur, Dec 30 & 31
La Luz
Seattle’s premiere surf rock band La Luz spent well over 100 days of 2015 touring the world in support of its second LP Weirdo Shrine. Welcome the women home and boogie down in dance river bonanza when the group to Neumos with Gazebos and Sick Sad World. While the New Year's Eve show is 21+, La Luz made sure to schedule an all-ages show on the 30th for all the young rock fans. Neumos, $15

Thur, Dec 31
"The Rolling Stones"
For a few years, a group of veteran weirdos from Seattle’s rock and punk scene have been playing as “The Rolling Stones,” the least creatively named the Rolling Stones Cover band ever. Featuring members of the Blood Brothers, Truckasaurus, and Shoplifting, they’re quite good at mimicking the legendary rockers and do so in a 100 percent unironic fashion. This New Year’s Eve they bust out all the hits at the Sunset with local punk bands Great Spiders and SSDD. Sunset Tavern, $15

Thur, Dec 31
Moulin Rouge! New Year's Eve Sing Along
Celebrations don’t get anymore spectacular spectacular than this. Sing your way into the New Year (while sipping champagne) as SIFF screens Baz Luhrmann’s lavish musical extravaganza. SIFF Cinema Uptown, $15

Sat, Jan 2
Industrial Revelation
It's hard to find a better contemporary jazz quartet than Industrial Revelation. The local combo of D'Vonne Lewis, Evan Flory-Barnes, Ahamefule J. Oluo, and Josh Rawlings bring a fresh and experimental energy every time they hit the stage. Why not have your first concert of 2016 be one that hits some of the sweetest, smoothest notes? Neumos, $10

Sat, Jan 2
T.J. Miller
On HBO's Silicon Valley, T.J. Miller's Erlich Bachman is a domineering but somewhat inept pack leader for the Pied Piper tech upstarts. On the standup stage, he manages to be even more brash and playfully loud. Kick off the new year with some laughs as Leafly hosts a free comedy show at the Crocodile featuring Miller and Seattle favorite Emmett Montgomery. Admittance will be handled on a first come, first served basis, so RSVP and show up early to avoid getting left out in the cold if the Croc hits capacity. The Crocodile, Free with RSVP
