Live music picks for MONDAY JANUARY 28 through FRIDAY FEBRUARY 1, 2013.

MONDAY JANUARY 28 / THE GROWLERS / HORSESHOE TAVERN / 368 QUEEN W / $11.50 - $13 / 19+

Fans of psychedelic surf rock won't want to miss this one.The Growlers, out of California, have been perfecting and evolving their unique sound since bursting onto the scene in 2006. It can best be described as a mix of psychedelic, garage, and surf rock, with some lo-fi country elements thrown in for good measure. The group worked withThe Black Keys' Dan Auerbach on its latest album,Hung at Heart, which came out just a week ago, so you can expect to hear plenty of material off of it at this show.The BreezesandInvasionswill offer support.

TUESDAY JANUARY 29 / HOT WATER MUSIC / THE DANFORTH MUSIC HALL / 147 DANFORTH AVE / $33.50 / ALL AGES

While I can never attest to being a huge fan of punk rock, there's a lot to like aboutHot Water Music. The group has been together since 1993, and while they've disbanded briefly on two separate occasions, they're back together and touring in support of their 2012 releaseExister,which was their first album in eight years. Punk rock fans will obviously eat this one up.La DisputeandThe Menzingerswill open.

WEDNESDAY JANUARY 30 / BLACK VEIL BRIDES / THE OPERA HOUSE / 735 QUEEN E / $10.50 / ALL AGES

Clearly inspired by bands like KISS (just check out their stage persona) and with a sound that's heavily influenced by the glam metal bands of the '80s, California'sBlack Veil Brideswill never get any points for originality. But this shouldn't take away from the fact that they do have a pretty good sound, and their latest album, the recently releasedWretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones, is a very well-done rock opera concept album.William Controlwill offer support.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 1 / HANNAH GEORGAS / THE MOD CLUB / 722 COLLEGE / $16 / ALL AGES

Since releasing her debut EP in 2008,Hannah Georgashas slowly become one of the more prolific names in the Canadian indie-pop scene. And it's really not difficult to see why - her songs are catchy, sweet, and wholly original. I've been a huge fan since I first heard her so-catchy-it-should-be-illegal tune "Bang Bang You're Dead" two years ago, so I'm giving this show my highest recommendation.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 1 / PURITY RING / THE PHOENIX / 410 SHERBOURNE / $19.75 / ALL AGES

If the beautiful indie-pop of Hannah Georgas doesn't do it for you on Friday night, the electronic mastery of Montreal-based duoPurity Ringis another option. The duo, comprised of Megan James and Corin Roddick, formed in 2010, and released their debut album,Shrines, last year.Young Magicwill offer support.
