Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Brooklyn’s She Keeps Bees [see “Owl”] visits the Satellite on Saturday night; the duo of Jessica Larrabee and Andy LaPlant have a new album, “Eight Houses,” on the way Sept. 16.

@Seraphina_L recommends: If you’re in the mood for heavy, loud shoegaze then San Francisco bay area-based post-rock band Whirr might be your best bet. The quintet plays the Echo on Tuesday in support of their forthcoming album “Sway.” ACxDC and Sad Actor support.
