Music: This Kentucky four-piece formed in the summer of 2006 and rocked small-bar crowds with songs about its members’ two favorite things: women and booze. This early, schnockered songwriting approach has expanded over the years and the band’s high-energy live shows now incorporate a number of musical roots. Fifth on the Floor produces a clean, cohesive sound that blends aspects of Southern rock, blues, and bluegrass. Fifth on the Floor performs Thursday, January 3, 7:30 p.m. at Abilene Bar & Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way. $5-10. 232-3230, abilenebarandlounge.com.

Bassnectar: a spaz of madness
Bassnectar may not be a household name, but for underground electronic fans, he's a musical maelstrom. He's a painter whose canvas is musical waves and ambient beats. He's half metal, half underground-style aficionado, collector, and librarian, and all electronic-music guru. And when that bass drops, watch out. The fans lap it up.
