Top weekend shows: Boris, Interpol
Boris: Playing with the pitiless precision of Samurai warriors, this Japanese trio has pushed the boundaries of heavy music with a style that echoes the past even as it refuses to be bound by it, 9 p.m. Friday at Metro, 3730 N. Clark St. $18; etix.com.
Interpol: Lots of news on the Interpol front. The band’s fourth album is done and awaiting September release, and longtime bassist – and fashion lightning rod – Carlos Dengler is gone. So this show should preview new songs and present new band members: ex-Slint member David Pajo on bass and Secret Machines’ Brandon Curtis on keyboards, 7:30 p.m. Sunday-Monday at the Vic Theatre, 3145 N. Sheffield, $31.50; ticketmaster.com.
