Reggae rockers Sunny Rude celebrate the release of their debut album “Rudimentary” with a show on Nov. 11 at the Typhoon Saloon. Though a relatively young band, the quartet, has built up a solid beach-area following and it’s easy to see why. Anyone who enjoys rocksteady sounds or more melodic reggae — a la UB40 — will enjoy this band. Its songs, like “Every Little Thing You Do” or “Sunshine,” are as good as anything in the genre. • Sunny Rude performs at 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 at the Typhoon Saloon, 1165 Garnet Ave. 21 and up. www.typhoonsaloon.com There seems to be a surplus of musicians touring lately whose main claim to fame is having filled in for a short time with a major band. Such is the case with Blaze Bayley, who performs at Brick by Brick on Nov. 13. Though he’s performed as a solo act for more than a decade and with the band Wolfsbane since 1984, it’s his five-year stint in Iron Maiden from 1994 to 1999 that sets Bayley’s career apart. While he only recorded two albums with Iron Maiden, expect those tunes to get the biggest response from the heavy-metal faithful at this gig. • Blaze Bayley performs at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 13 at Brick by Brick, 1130 Buenos Ave. 21 and up. $15. www.brickbybrick.com Based in downtown San Diego, Capricorn Studios has helped hundreds of performers — from hard rockers Cattle Decapitation to soul singer Toni Braxton — capture their sounds. On Nov. 16 at The Griffin, the studio hosts a CD-release event for affiliated groups, with an all-star lineup on hand, including Astra Kelly, Ghost Bird, The Lyon Crowns, Miss Erika Davies, Jackson Price and B-Side players’ frontman Karlos Paez. This eclectic lineup is the perfect showcase and yet a mere taste of all the great music that has emerged from Capricorn over the years. • Capricorn Studios: 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 16 at The Griffin, 1310 Morena Blvd. 21 and up. $10. www.thegriffinsd.com Visalia-based four-piece combo High Plains Drifters stop in at Tio Leo’s on Nov. 18. The band sounds like a cross between the Doors without keyboards and a live Beat Farmers bootleg. They also touch on Americana and jam with singer Robert Millsap’s impressive growl at the forefront. A bit rough around the edges, High Plains Drifters’ music is loud, groove filled and full of attitude, the perfect ingredients for a Saturday night out. • High Plains Drifters perform at 9 p.m. on Friday Nov. 18 at Tio Leo’s, 5302 Napa St. 21 and up. Cover TBD. http://www.reverbnation.com/thehighplainsdriftersband Based around the percussion, vocals and saxophone of frontman Fidel Bateke, who is originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bateke Beat performs music from his native land.
