Featured show of the week:Tarantula, A.D. at 400 Bar:
As we said in our album review, this group’s new album is a bold aural collage of piano improv, salsa, punk, classical and vocal experimentation. It’s an unexpected surprise on a busy day. We’re hoping the concert is even better.

Check them out Tuesday at the 400 Bar at 8 p.m. ($8).
