Atlas Genius + Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. + Family of the Year

Atlas Genius is a budding Aussie outfit whose bubbly synth-pop recalls Phoenix. Little wonder, then, they’re so popular—this week the band plays two nights at Irving Plaza in support of its recent Warner Bros. debut, When It Was Now. Arrive early for sunny pop outfit Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., which takes its Motor City roots and tongue-in-cheek moniker to extremes—the members don racing suits and trucker hats onstage.
