Miike Snow at the The Mohawk, 912 Red River St.— Friday night

I wasn’t too familiar with the indie electro-pop band Miike Snow before it took the stage Friday night at The Mohawk. Originally a trio, the group has now expanded to a six-piece, allowing them to better recreate the highly produced sound from their 2009 self-titled debut.

The band hit the stage just after midnight, wearing all black and donning white masks, which were removed during the second song of the set to roars from the crowd. Fan favorites “Animals” and “Burial” were the most well received songs during the group’s roughly 45-minute performance.

Broken Social Scene at Stubb’s, 801 Red River St.—Thursday night

The influence of Broken Social Scene on the indie rock world can’t be overstated, and the group gave a capacity crowd at Stubb’s plenty of reason to be excited about its upcoming album, “Forgiveness Rock Record.”

The band opened with a solid performance of “World Sick,” the first single from the group’s forthcoming record. Many of the new songs dispersed throughout the set were riddled with technical problems and miscues, but the structure of the songs and the vocals of now full-time member Lisa Lobsinger were encouraging despite the issues.

“We’re gonna play our guts out, but we’re human beings still trying to figure things out,” confessed front man Kevin Drew.

Everything finally came together when Emily Haines and James Shaw of the band Metric joined the group onstage for a first-rate version of “Anthems for a 17 Year Old Girl,” a popular track from 2002’s “You Forget It In People.”

Flying Lotus at The Phoenix, 409 Colorado St. — Wednesday night

I can count on one hand the number of times a band or artist has taken the stage early, but that was the case Wednesday night at The Phoenix when psychedelic hip-hop DJ Flying Lotus, also known as Steven Ellison, started his hour-long set.

The nephew of jazz legend Alice Coltrane, Ellison is a California-based artist that merges dub, hip-hop, glitch and electro into something entirely original.

His performance was the headlining set of the showcase night for Warp Records, an England-based record label that features predominately electronic artists. Highlights included a remix of Lil Wayne’s “I Feel Like Dying” and “And The World Laughs With You,” a collaboration with Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke from Ellison’s upcoming album “Cosmogramma.”
