It's a fatty stacked Thurs., Nov. 5, at least as far as concerts go. Take a look at the breakdown below.

Myfever with DAWNS, Ninehorn Atlanta-by-way-of-Panama City‘90s-tinged indie rock trio Myfever has been active for a little over a year and issued a Kickstarter-funded debut EP, See the Light, earlier this year, its title track pushing forward with big crashing rhythms, riffy guitars and tunefully wailing vocal melodies. (The Amsterdam, St. Petersburg)–Leilani Polk

Chance The Rapper with Metro Boomin, D.R.A.M., Towkio After breaking through with his Acid Rap mixtape a few years back, Chance the Rapper has been carving out a special niche for himself in hip-hop with his jazzy instrumentals, sing-song delivery and vividly personal storytelling style. Chance has enjoyed a great year so far; he dropped a free album, Surf, as part of the Social Experiment, his side project with Nico Segal aka Donnie Trumpet, and Metacritic has deemed it one of 2015’s highest rated albums. The rapper also became a first-time father recently. Chance returns to the Bay area more than a year after his last appearance here with his “Family Matters Tour,” bringing along gifted producer Metro Boomin (one of the minds behind Future’s Dirty Sprite 2 and a joint mixtape with Drake, What A Time To Be Alive), multi-talented rapper, singer and producer D.R.A.M., and a fellow Chicagoan and SaveMoney member, rapper/producer, Towkio.

Cory Henry & The Funk Apostles with Serotonic Though the majority of his time is spent throwing down keys as a member of Grammy-winning R&B-fusion group Snarky Puppy, producer/organ extraordinaire Cory Henry is also a capable sideman and producer, not to mention a solo artist who’s been leading his own instrumental project, The Funk Apostles, for a little under a year. The Texas quintet draws on elements of jazz, funk and soul with occasional forays into reggae, gospel music, Afrobeat and rock n’ roll, the result a grinding and grooving, made-for-getting-down sound. (Dunedin Brewery, Dunedin)–LP

Rob Garza If you know Thievery Corporation, you know Rob Garza. He’s co-leader of the global sound-mining electro-lounge collective, though on this night, he appears for a solo DJ set that showcases the deep house and nu-disco styles he’s been experimenting with since relocating to San Francisco a few years ago. He’ll also be hawking copies of his debut solo EP, Palace of Mirrors, which he released via his own Magnetic Moon label earlier this year. (Crowbar, Ybor City)–LP

SunGhosts with UNRB “We sound like backflips, love, explosions, lasers, bar fights, and good times,” reads the Bandcamp bio for SunGhosts, an indie garage quartet from Miami with a guitar-fuzzed reverb-drenched sun n’ surf quality to their raw lo-fi jams and a vocalist whose nasally delivery is peppered with plenty of hoots, squeals and howls ala upbeat new single “Polterguy,” about a dude who sees dead people. (The Bends, St. Petersburg)–LP
