Yes, you're Still Flyin'.
STILL FLYIN', COTILLION, AND CONSPIRACY OF VENUS
Indie rock party jams meet a Bright Eyes-Passionista supergroup meets Conspiracy of Beards' female counterpart devoted to Joni Mitchell and other ladies of the canyon? Thurs/3, 9 p.m., $10. Café du Nord, 2170 Market, SF. (415) 861-5016.
STEVIE WONDER
Is there any Wonder the man is a pop legend? Stevie Wonder has won 26 Grammys and has had 30 Top 10 hits. These stateside shows will precede Wonder's first European concerts in more than a decade, so expect him to be busy honing his considerable chops. And never fear - if you miss the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist here, you can also catch him at Sleep Train Pavilion in Concord on July 8. Sat/5, 7:30 p.m., $29.50-$135. Shoreline Amphitheatre, 1 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View. (650) 541-0800. Tues/8, 7:30 p.m., $29.50-$125. Sleep Train Pavilion, 2000 Kirker Pass Road, Concord. (415) 421-TIXS.
YAZ
Vocalist Alison Moyet and songwriter-keyboardist Vince Clarke only put out two albums before going their own ways, but the recent reissue of those discs has brought the two out from the shadows of the past. This Paramount date is the first one by the reunited Yaz in the US, and it's highly possible that material recorded here could show up on a future live CD. Mon/7, 7:30 p.m., $39.50-$75. Paramount Theatre, 2025 Broadway, Oakl. (415) 421-TIXS.
