Two Door Cinema Club has released exactly one single since they last came to town in February, but this 2010s staple of a band puts on a show that will never get old. I count them as part of my personal golden era of music (2015 and thereabouts), with bouncy synth-pop songs including “What You Know,” “Undercover Martyn” and my personal favorite, “Something Good Can Work.” I’ve seen them live several times, and can tell you they’re not too serious to play their older hits. That aforementioned new single, “Happy Customers,” is more sparse than my favorites but keeps the upbeat tendency of the band in play. It builds on 2023’s “Sure Enough,” which only gets my hopes up for another album coming soon. When this Northern Irish trio makes the trip across the pond, no matter how often, I have to be there. The group will be joined by up-and-coming New York City alt-rockers Quarters of Change. HANNAH HERNER
