Endlessly creative veteran L.A. rapper Murs first teamed up with Miami Rap group ¡Mayday! (featuring a pair of MCs and a full live band) on the latter’s first album, 2012’s Take Me to Your Leader. The two entities (both signed to Tech N9ne’s Strange Music imprint) connected so well they decided to reteam for this summer’s ¡MursDay!, an electrifying, high-energy album with an eclectic musical palette and dynamic live-instrument additives. The album received positive reviews, with many noting that the music should translate incredibly well in a raucous live setting, meaning the collaborative’s Halloween show should be one of the more entertaining concerts to hit the area this fall.
7 p.m. Friday. $17. Thompson House, 24 Third St., Newport, Ky., thompsonhousenewport.com.
