Here’s a few more shows of note this week, including a Bloomington performance by Margot and another music-centric Barack Obama fundraiser.

Thursday in Bloomington, Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s will play their second date following recording sessions for Animal at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre. Local support is Kentucky Nightmare, a not all that country (or Kentucky) influenced quartet that leans towards folk- and indie-rock (not completely unlike Margot, to make broad comparisons) and may have a full-fledged release for their now-available second album Take Her Favor in the works. Chicago’s Maps and Atlases are also on the bill. $10 advance and $12 at the door for the 8 p.m. show.

Terre Haute’s Cuba and Indy’s The Here Now will open a Friday night show at Radio Radio headlined by Columbus, Ohio’s The Iry. Both Indiana bands are five-pieces with a clean and low-key adult-contemporary sound; differentiating them, The Here Now sometimes deploys keys in a prominent melodic role, while Cuba anchors several tunes on their new record with synthesizers. $5 gets you in; doors at 8 p.m.

Three fine jam/funk bands — Shadyside Allstars, hip-O and Funkshoe — are at Birdy’s Friday night. After some line-up changes, hip-O — more jazz-influenced funk than your jam band on the Dead/Phish spectrum — are working up new tunes and a full local schedule. Meanwhile, Shadyside picked up a spot at late May’s Summer Camp festival in Chillcothe, Ill. (Rev. Peyton is also booked for that Summer Camp bill.) Concert starts at 9 p.m. and costs $5.

After local fundraisers Obamarama and Jazz’n for Obama, this Saturday’s Barack Obama fundraiser — featuring sets by The Philosophy and Mab Lab — at Radio Radio seems in need of a more clever name. But it’s got the goods musically: trip-hop group Mab Lab broke up a while back, but with several members still in town, they can reunite for a cause, while hip-hop trio The Philosophy (that’s not counting the impressive live band) offer inventive wordplay and a positive message without sounding corny. Doors at 8 p.m. and $6 to get in, with all proceeds heading to Obama.

And speaking of reconciliations, defunct Indy four-piece America Owns the Moon is back, at least for a couple weeks, and they’ll play another gig at the Melody Monday night, joining Pravada, The Innate, Nathaniel Hammond, and NYC’s The Walk Ons. $5 for the 8 p.m. show.
