The Mars Volta

Here’s another chance to check out a band that has musical critics raving. This progressive-rock duo that calls to mind Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd recently put out an album that could be considered one 77-minute-long song, featuring the unique combination of frenzied guitar work and salsa-inspired vocals and beats. The band brings its show to UCSD’s RIMAC Arena on April 22. 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, 858-534-6567;
