If you're just now thinking, "I'd like to see some concerts this week," well, you're a little too late for some great ones. Japandroids, Dirty Projectors and CHVRCHES tickets were snatched fast. But perhaps you can find some online. One of the Mikal Cronin shows is sold out, too, so you'll want to jump on the early gig.

1. Mikal Cronin Power-pop. It never goes out of style, yet it's never fully in style. For four decades, musicians have punched up the Beatles' bop with extra polish or added fuzz in hopes of radio fame that could sadly only exist in an alternate universe. Mikal Cronin mostly recalls the scruffier guitar bubblegum of the '90s—Matthew Sweet, Sloan, the Lemonheads, etc. You know the sound—everyman lyrics, huge bittersweet choruses about broken relationships, the occassional woo-ooh-ooh. Touches of piano and blown-out acoustic guitar add a fresh ripple, but Cronin is a student of Guitar Pop 101. Still, his gets an A+ for his new MCII. Empty Bottle. Jun 11 at 6pm. $10.

2. Man or Astroman? Kalamazoo, MI, sometime in the '90s: A man named Birdstuff puts an old hollowed-out television on his head and lights it on fire. Then plays guitar while it is on fire. Another man named Star Crunch fires up a homemade Tesla coil, shooting bolts of electricity into a crowd. For two decades (with some lulls), MOAM? have recorded circuit-melting surf-rock (with Steve Albini) and pulled off such antics onstage, as we recall. The Alabama sci-fi heads return with the scorching album Defcon 5…4…3…2…1 and far more vocals than we expected. But the first part is why you must see them live. Empty Bottle. Jun 14, 15 at 9:30pm. $15.

Steppenwolf Theatre Company's revival of Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? took three of the five categories in which it was nominated for Broadway's Tony Awards tonight. It was widely expected that Steppenwolf's production, which premiered in Chicago in December 2010, would win the Tony for best revival of a play.

Less certain was the award for best direction of a play, which went to Woolf's Pam McKinnon. Even more of a dark horse was the award for best actor in a play, which went to Steppenwolf ensemble member Tracy Letts for his revisionary work as George in Woolf. Hollywood star and two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks, who made his Broadway debut this season in Nora Ephron's final work, Lucky Guy, was favored to win, with strong competition from Nathan Lane, who got strong reviews for his performance in The Nance. Letts won a Tony as playwright in 2009 for August: Osage County, for which he'll also be credited as screenwriter when the film adaptation opens this fall.

Steppenwolf's Woolf cast members Amy Morton and Carrie Coon were also nominated for acting awards; the fourth cast member, Madison Dirks, was not, though Letts, in his acceptance speech tonight, referred to Dirks as "criminally undersung." Morton had been previously nominated in 2009 for her leading role in Letts's Osage County, losing to her castmate Deanna Dunagan.

Both Coon and Dirks made their Broadway debuts in this revival of Woolf; Coon lost the Tony tonight to Judith Light, who took her second consecutive Tony as best featured actress in a play for The Assembled Parties, but Coon revealed in an interview last week that she and Letts have recently become engaged.

Another big winner at tonight's Tony Awards was the musical Kinky Boots, which had an early tryout in Chicago last fall. That show, which reportedly went through many revisions between its Chicago iteration and opening on Broadway in April, took home Tonys for best orchestrator Stephen Oremus, best actor Billy Porter, best composer Cyndi Lauper and best musical, winning over the reported favorite and British import Matilda the Musical.
