This weekend and beyond, there's rock mania with several multiband bills plus cinematic electronic pop on the radio. Get moving.
Rock, rock, rock
Several stage-stretching shows spread out over the next few days offer something from the rock side for almost anyone whose tastes run to the hard edged and the alternative.
The All Stars Tour will take over Backstage Live, 1305 E. Houston St., Saturday with two dozen bands. The all-ages show will feature an indoor stage and an outdoor stage. Doors open at 1 p.m.
The lineup is set to include Emmure, For Today, Born of Osiris, Iwrestledabearonce, After the Burial, The Ghost Inside, Chelsea Grin, Attila, For All Those Sleeping, Alesana, Bless the Fall, In This Moment, Motionless in White, Sleeping With Sirens, Norma Jean, Sleeping Giant, The Chariot, War of Ages, Close Your Eyes, Texas in July, I the Breather, As Hell Retreats, The Great Commission and Sovereign Strength.
With that bill, attendees will be able to experience a bit of everything from thundering metal to rock that's only slightly less thundering. Tickets cost $28.50 in advance at Texas Trash Clothing Exchange, 2100 McCullough Ave., $32.45 from frontgatetickets.com.
For tastes that run more to the alt/art side of rock, White Rabbit, 2410 N. St. Mary's St., Saturday will welcome a Deadbeat Hero/Drunkenmonkey Promotions all-ages ArtSlam!, this one with a “Pixels vs. Panels” theme during which superheroes and arcade games will meet and mingle. There'll be music from Lost Project, Mega Man, id, Silent Minority, Mega Fauna, Muchos Backflips and DJ Doc J.
If the music is not enough, more than 40 local artists will have work on display and for sale, there'll be classic video game stations, and comics and toys, uh, collectibles, will be for sale. Cover charge is $5; $8 for minors.
Thursday night, artist management company Artery Foundation will bring its tour into White Rabbit with a herd of client bands, In Fear and Faith, Vanna, A Loss for Words, Close to Home, Ten After Two, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk and Adestria.
But wait, there's more. White Rabbit on Tuesday will feature the '11 edition of the Rockstar Energy Drink Scream It Like You Mean It tour.

Tickets cost $16 in advance at White Rabbit Pizzeria and frontgatetickets.com, $19 at the door. Doors open at 5 p.m.
Hyperbubble goes radio
Hyperbubble, the wife/husband electronica/pop duo of Jess and Jeff DeCuir, is celebrating the release of its new CD, “Drastic Cinematic” (Bubble Gum), not with a live gig but with an appearance Saturday at 8 p.m. on Brian Parrish's “The Casbah” radio show on KSYM, 90.1 FM/ksym.org. The CD, set up like a movie, features the duo along with an international cast making cameo appearances. Hyperbubble will perform “Drastic Cinematic” in its entirety on KSYM. Dancing in your living room is encouraged.
