MUSIC

Girl Talk Gregg Gillis’ project Girl Talk has long outlived the novelty of his conceit — mashing up 40 years of pop, rap and rock hits into a re-contextualizing blizzard. It works because he’s a seriously skilled DJ in that respect, but also because his ear is equally droll and omnivorous toward the joys of hearing Rihanna and Black Sabbath share a tune. Fox Theater Pomona, 301 S. Garey Ave., Pomona. 8 p.m. $25. https://www.foxpomona.com.

Devo Now that lead guitarist Bob Mothersbaugh’s hand is all healed, the cult legends Devo are back on tour, ready to whip their die-hard fans into a frenzy once again. Opening for them is the indie electronic quartet the Octopus Project. Club Nokia, 800 W. Olympic Blvd. 8 p.m. $35. https://www.clubnokia.com.
