Admission: Free
Where: Mulligan’s Pub, Grand Rapids

Denver rock band In the Whale brings its U.S. tour to the cozy confines of Mulligan’s Pub in Grand Rapids, delivering heavy rock that the Chicago Tribune has described as “dirty, fun and caked in garage grime.” The band has played a ton of festivals, including Riot Fest, Lollapalooza and Afro Punk, as well as sharing stages with The Offspring and Descendents.

Also on the bill for this 21-and-older show will be Hoffey and After Hours Radio. Details here.

SATURDAY

LADY ACE BOOGIE’S
DOPE ASS HIP HOP SHOW
When: 9:30 p.m. Saturday
Admission: $12
Where: Billy’s Lounge, Grand Rapids

This is another West Michigan hip hop showcase for the ages. Grand Rapids’ Lady Ace Boogie has assembled an all-star cast for this evening of stars at Billy’s Lounge, including Joose The Conqueror, Rebel Kuzco, Jance, Dayz, Queen, E-Will, Belve, Shabazz GC and DJ Dean Martian. The event “stands out because most of the artists on the line up have never done a show together,” says Lady Ace Boogie. “They all represent different crews and different parts of the city, and none of them sound the same. It’s my way of getting people out of silos in the hip hop community in GR.”

Doors open at 8 p.m. for this 21-and-older show. And tune in to “GR Live” on WYCE at noon Thursday (88.1 FM) when Rebel Kuzco, Dayz and more will be the special guests.

STEVE’N’SEAGULLS
When: 9:30 p.m. Saturday
Admission: $5
Where: Founders Brewing Co., Grand Rapids

The band with the funny play on the action film actor’s name hails from Finland, of all places, playing country and bluegrass covers of hard rock and metal songs. Really. Steve’N’Seagulls — Remmel, Herman, Hiltunen, Pukki and Puikkonen — have racked up more than 66 million views of their bluegrassy, live rendition of AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” and have released a couple of albums along the way.

Cluster Puck is also on the bill for this Saturday night show. Founders follows this on Sunday with the monthly return of the Grand Rapids Jazz Orchestra.

SUNDAY

SKI MASK THE SLUMP GOD
When: 8 p.m. Sunday
Tickets: $23 advance, $25 day of show, $120 VIP
Where: The Intersection, Grand Rapids

Also performing at this weekend show will be Bandhunta Izzy, Danny Towers, DJ Scheme and illxchris. Doors for the all-ages show open at 7 p.m.; details at sectionlive.com.

MONDAY (LABOR DAY)

LIVE
When: 7 p.m. Sunday
Tickets: $65 ($63 Gardens members)
Where: Meijer Gardens, Grand Rapids Township
