TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND. A little bit country and little bit rock and roll, this husband-wife Grammy- winning band (with numbers in the teens) was originally known as “Soul Stew Revival,” suggesting big-band revues of the early ’70s such as Mad Dogs & Englishmen. Derek Trucks, of the Grammy-winning Allman Brothers and Derek Trucks Band, and Susan Tedeschi are considered two of the top blues-rock guitarists in
the world, which is impressive when you think about what their offspring might bring to the music world. Touring in support of this year’s well-received Let Me Get By collection, the Tedeschi Trucks Band takes the stage at Copley Symphony Hall on Saturday. Dave Good breaks it down in this week’s Of Note, page 58.

THE KILLS. The tastemakers at Pitchfork sum up the garage-rock duo’s fifth release, saying, “Ash & Ice is the Kills’ first album in five years and [it] encompasses everything they’ve done before, as well as bring- ing in boombox beats with Brazilian and Afro- pop influ- ences.” So, White Stripes with spice? Either way, the Kills are sure to kill it onstage when they face a packed house at the Observatory North Park on Sunday. Club Crawler, page 56.

LABOR DAY PIER SWIM. The modern version of the Oceanside Pier was completed in 1987, 99 years after the first structure jutted into the sea on that spot. In 1929, the first Pier
Swim — a one-mile course around the pier and back — was held on Labor Day. The swim has gone on for 86 Labor Days since and is the longest- running annual rough-water swim in the West, drawing hundreds of swim- mers. The 87th annual Pier Swim is this Monday at 7 a.m. Waterfront, page 42.
