Kansas City emo outfit the Get Up Kids perform their intermittently mellow and driving Vagrant pop for maudlin girls and boys. Label-mates with the more famous and even more sentimental Dashboard Confessional, the Kids just released Gulit Show, their follow-up to 2002’s subdued On a Wire. Joining them are Recover and singer-songwriter Rocky Votolato. The title of Votolato’s most recent album, Suicide Medicine, should give you a good idea of what to expect from him. Tickets $16. All ages. 6 p.m. Axis, 13 Lansdowne St., Boston...

Their eponymous album, released in late 2002, isn’t particularly gripping—a series of sunny pop songs equally influenced by emo and the retro-chic of bands like The Apples in Stereo. But OK Go, like all bands worth their salt, come into their own when playing live...
