The best upcoming D.C. concerts in spring 2024

The world of song is far too unruly for your tired bingo card jokes, but where does “Kim Gordon makes a rap album” fit on any grid of human expectation? “Bye Bye,” the startling first single from the Sonic Youth co-founder’s forthcoming solo record, finds Gordon reciting a packing list — “Advil, black jeans, blue jeans, cardigan, purse, passport, pajamas …” — over a pummeling trap beat before everything bursts into squeals of electric guitar. It’s like a lost Salem track, only 10 times cooler. (And for the record, I always liked Salem. But this is Kim Gordon.) March 22 at Black Cat, blackcatdc.com.
