Moody electronics and synthesized blips and beeps has this Red Bank duo – playing Championship Sports Bar and Grill (931 Chambers St., Trenton) tomorrow night – getting off on Ladytron-styled computer love.

Thrash-rapping “self-loathing ego maniac, (who) stays partying like Rodney Dangerfield in ‘Caddy Shack’,” rips comedic slim-shadys with MC Paul Barman flows at McGuinn’s Place (1781 Brunswick Pike, Lawrence) tomorrow night. Lawrence’s “new rap Fonzi’s” lyrical slugs also works with gnarly, mosh-inducing punk rock. Show starts at 9 p.m. Karma Bat! and 14 Points play, too. Tickets cost $5. 21-plus.
The Dipsomaniacs alt-country side set – headlining The Record Collector (358 Farnsworth Ave., Bordentown) tomorrow night – remains stellar in its harmony-driven guitar pop seen in early Wilco, Superdrag and The Smithereens. Show starts at 7:30 p.m. Mike Chorba, a Burlco English teacher who fronts both the Dipsos and Failures, opens the show with a solo set on guitar and piano. Tickets cost $10 in advance, $12 at the door. All-ages.
Lead singer can do a killer Belinda Carlise, as in the way-too-serious “Mad About You” cover the New Yorkers do. The rest of the alternatives – firing up the Live & Local stage at Six Flags Great Adventure (1 Six Flags Blvd., Jackson) tomorrow - sounds like either Incubus or Live, sometimes both. Shows start at 2 p.m. Beyond Hope Lies gets to rock log flume, too. Free with admission to the park. All-ages.
Western-wrangling without a psychobilly freakout in sight, the guys mosey into The Stone Pony (913 Ocean Ave., Asbury Park) tomorrow night with its 12th LP, “Laughin’ and Cryin’ With The Reverend Horton Heat,” and its Roy Rogers selling moonshine to a pack of wild Indians vibe.

Balti-morbid death-core crushers jet in from Finland – the metal holy land – to drop a giant-sized anvil of musical brutality through left-wing theologies on Championships Sports Bar and Grill (931 Chambers St., Trenton) Saturday. For fans of hating your parents and Dying Fetus. Show starts at noon. Criminal Element, In Wake of the Plague, Esquilax, Saws of Cerberus, Her Dead Womb, Napier, Jettison Grey Matter, The Necrophiliac, Yacht Club, Catalyst of Thought, Tomorrow Never Dies and Sedna play, too.

Go-go glorious desert dwellers – headlining The Record Collector (358 Farnsworth Ave., Bordentown) Saturday night - get tripped out on slinky ’60s psychedelics through stinging keyboards and a vixen lead lady with a Jim Morrison complex. Also good for fans of The Cramps, cheapo alien conspiracy movies from the ’50s and Jefferson Airplane. Show starts at 6 p.m. Philadelphia garage-rock legends, Mondo Topless, and New York’s The Anabolics round out the bill. Tickets cost $10 in advance, $12 at the door. All-ages.
Boo to no chance of spotting Kate Hudson sunbathing by the Atlantic. Yay to a great rock show in a relatively tiny venue like The Stone Pony (913 Ocean Ave., Asbury Park) on Saturday night and the chance to absorb the melodies from the Robinsons’ eighth studio album, “Before the Frost … Until the Freeze.” Hand jiving to “Hard to Handle” is fun, too. Show starts at 5 p.m. Tickets cost $40 in advance, $45 at the door. All-ages.
Crazy to say, but it’s these Philly downtowners - playing The Stone Pony (913 Ocean Ave., Asbury Park) on Sunday night – who constructed the Grateful Dead tribute band model the many, many others in this area follow. Show starts at 4 p.m. And you better get your jam-face on, because it’s going to get hippie silly with Lemon Juice, Doug Mikula & Domino Effect, Greg Herritt’s Heavy Road and Karmic Juggernaut in on the fun, too. Tickets cost $15 in advance, $20 at the door. All-ages.

With any luck, this Bronc-rooting sound selector lets a bevy of college babes slide on some of his hip-hop bangers at The All Call Inn’s (214 Weber Ave., Ewing) first college night party of the Fall on Tuesday.
