Every week, we present a curated list of live music in a wide range of genres around the Valley. This week’s column features musicians who also have side hustles.
August 12
10cc
The British quartet, known for the hit “The Things We Do for Love” and the heavily-looped “I’m Not In Love,” is traveling the States for the first time in decades for a tour dubbed The Ultimate, Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour.

Family Worship Center
This oddly named indie rock band originates from the Northwest, but its sound is clearly rooted in the South, taking its cues from church tent revivals and influential classic rockers The Band, giving its shows a cultish vibe. Local group Emby Alexander is scheduled to perform. 7:30 p.m., $15-$18, Valley Bar, 130 N. Central Ave., Phoenix, 602-368-3121, valleybarphx.com

Jane’s Addiction
Frontman Perry Farrell founded the groundbreaking alt-music festival Lollapalooza in the early ’90s when the “Been Caught Stealing” band was at its peak. Now, Jane’s Addiction is mounting a comeback with the release of its new single “Imminent Redemption,” its first song with founding member Eric Avery in 34 years. 7 p.m. Check website for ticket prices. Arizona Financial Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix, 602-514-2919, livenation.com
August 16
Limp Bizkit
Fred Durst, the lead singer of the chart-topping nu-metal group, had a good side hustle going, directing films such as The Education of Charlie Banks and the football comedy The Longshots. However, depending on how you feel about the decisive “Nookie” band, he couldn’t resist the charm of performing with his friends. 6:30 p.m. Check website for ticket prices. Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre, 2121 N. 83rd Ave., Phoenix, 602-254-7200, livenation.com
