Monday, 6/26
Eagles of Death Metal
@ El Club
Eagles of Death Metal isn’t a side-project to Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, who also leads this rad band. To him, it’s of equal importance, and is a different music outlet. Eagles of Death Metal are one of the best hard rock bands around, and that’s undeniable. Josh Homme and fellow founder (and constant member, as guest musicians come in and out of the band) Jesse Hughes share initials and talent that is hard to match. In four albums they’ve proven themselves to be legendary. Don’t miss this show.
Doors open at 8 p.m.; 4114 W. Vernor Hwy., Detroit;elclubdetroit.com; Tickets are $25.

Paleface
@ PJ’s Lager House
Indie cult icon Paleface taught Beck a few tunes back in the day, and has been one of the biggest indie-folk acts around, thanks in part to his “girlfriend-drummer” Mo Samalot, who provides the sweet harmonies featured on many of his tracks. You might recognize him from Paste magazine’s short documentary, Paleface: The Making of One Big Party, or from reading about him in Metro Times itself since we love the dude’s music. Paleface has worked on three albums with the Avett Brothers, and is an accomplished visual artist to boot. Paleface keeps himself busy, to say the least, but his music never falters.
Doors open at 8 p.m.; 1254 Michigan Ave., Detroit; pjslagerhouse.com; Tickets are $5.

The Promise of Never Again
@ Holocaust Memorial Center
Genocide is one of many stains on human history and the erasure of many races has taken place throughout the ages. Scott Straus is a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the author of Fundamentals of Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention, and thus can be considered an expert on ending genocide. Straus is also a council member at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum whaere he works closely with the Simon-Skojt Center on Genocide Prevention. His lecture comes at an important time in human history, as many races and religions still face rampant discrimination and xenophobia.
Starts at 7 p.m.; 28123 Orchard Lake Rd., Farmington Hills; 248-553-2400; holocaustcenter.org; free entry??
