What’s up on a terrific Tuesday:

‣ With “Hungry Ghosts” – their first new album in four years – on the way in October, OK Go headlines the Troubadour. DJ Myles Hendrik sets the stage.
‣ Man or Astro-Man, who have a new album titled “Defcon 5…4…3…2…1” on the way, play the Roxy Theatre, supported by Sallie Ford and WRAY.
‣ By now you have probably seen Hawaiian singer-songwriter Kawehi’s loop-tastic cover of “Heart Shaped Box.” [And if you haven’t, see above.] This month she released her EP “Robot Heart,”, and tonight she brings her skills to the Bootleg HiFi, where’s she’s joined by Ray & Remora and Chase Cohl.
‣ Goo Goo Dolls head up the lineup at the Greek Theatre, along with Daughtry and Plain White T’s.
‣ U.K. quartet Cymbals, on their first U.S. tour, visit the Echo, supported by Wunder Wunder, Strangeheart and Roses.
