Suggesting the proto-punk, two-chord jams of the Velvet Underground's messy, earliest recordings, Detroit rockers Tyvek released a series of highly collectible, nofidelity 7-inches, EPs and cassettes before cleaning up their sound ever so slightly for their self-titled debut full-length last May.

Tyvek w/ Aluminum Knot Eye and Pink Reason Cactus Club, 9:30 p.m. Founding members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss left the band early last decade, but Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons carried their own on the group's latest record, 2009's Sonic Boom, which became the group's highest-charting album ever. Following a string of moderately successful records, the risky double live album Alive! brought the band the massive commercial breakthrough they had been seeking all along, and the KISS franchise has been running strong ever since (though many fans prefer to forget the period in the '80s when the band abandoned their signature makeup).

With their face paint, flamboyant outfits and flaming guitars, KISS branded themselves as the most theatrical rockers of the 1970s.

KISS w/ The Academy Is… and The Envy Marcus Amphitheater, 6:30 p.m.
