Future Islands, Mogwai, Beck make up big week of music in El Paso

If you’re a fan of music you’ll likely love this week in El Paso.

Future Islands, one of the most buzzed about bands in the country right now, will be performing at Lowbrow Palace, 111 Robinson Ave., tonight. The band has been selling out clubs on their current tour and earning rave reviews for their Coachella concerts and David Letterman appearances in recent weeks.

Tickets for Future Islands are $12 and available at the door. Doors open at 9 p.m.

Tuesday, Scottish post-rock band Mogwai will perform at Tricky Falls, 209 S. El Paso St. The internationally-known band has never performed in El Paso before and is touring behind new album, “Rave Tapes.” Tickets are $18 and available at http://trickyfalls.com/event/153405

Thursday, Beck will perform at the Abraham Chavez Theatre, his first performance in El Paso in nearly six years.

Tickets are $47.08, including service fees, and are available at the Plaza Theatre box office, Ticketmaster.com and Ticketmaster locations.

Beck recently released “Morning Phase,” which some critics are calling a sequel to his highly acclaimed “Sea Change” album.

Beck last played El Paso in September 2008 when he played the Chavez Theatre and then after that concert played a secret show at a local cafe. Vanity Fair even ran a feature on Beck’s ’08 El Paso visit and secret show which can be read at http://vnty.fr/1el2XQu
