<h3 class="briefHead">Kansas by way of NCC</h3>

"Carry On Wayward Son" may have experienced a recent resurgence among a new generation of music fans thanks to the "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero" games, but Kansas has been going strong since way before the days of digital music.

<h3 class="briefHead">Take a picture</h3>

Filter's breakout "Hey Man Nice Shot" may have hit the airwaves nearly two decades ago, but it was their sophomore release, 1999's "Title of Record," that still fuels my road trips down memory lane. Critical reviews of last week's release, "Crazy Eyes," promise a return to form for a band that thrived most when railing against the world. Hear some of Filter's new music at Arlington Heights' H.O.M.E. Bar with the "Make America Hate Again" tour, featuring Orgy, Vampires Everywhere, Death Valley High and Lake County rockers Greywall. H.O.M.E. Bar, 1227 N. Rand Road, Arlington Heights. $22; VIP packages available. (847) 577-4663 or homebarchicago.com. 6 p.m. Thursday, April 21

<h3 class="briefHead">The Rev at Nellie's</h3>

The Reverend Horton Heat has been playing country-tinged rockabilly music since busting out of Dallas in the mid-1980s. Then came the '90s, when the music scene was awash in a buzzy new blend of rock, enhanced with big band brass, ska rhythms and punk rock sensibilities, which essentially put out a welcome mat for some of the band's biggest hits. The Reverend Horton Heat brings the psychobilly theatrics to Palatine's Durty Nellie's along with comedic country artist Unknown Hinson. Durty Nellie's, 180 N. Smith St., Palatine. $22-$25. (847) 358-9150 or durtynellies.com. 9 p.m. Thursday, April 21
