This week in arts briefs, X plays The Guild; Los Altos Stage Company brings beloved cult film to the stage; and Community School of Music and Arts hosts a free family concert.
Concert
X
Groundbreaking L.A. punk band X has always straddled the line between punk and straight-up rock with a guitar-heavy sound that has proven influential throughout the decades. The group has a dozen studio and live albums to its name and after reuniting in the early ’00s, has continued to tour. The band plays back to back shows at The Guild. With classic country and rockabilly artist James Intveld.
April 14 and 15, 8 p.m. The Guild, 949 El Camino Real, Menlo Park. Tickets start at $43. guildtheatre.com.
Stage
Harold and Maude
Los Altos Stage Company presents a theatrical adaptation of the beloved cult film that launched a thousand goths. The company marks the 50th anniversary of Colin Higgins’ memorable tale of the world’s quirkiest May-December pairing, when young, death-obsessed Harold meets up with vibrant, life-loving near-octogenarian Maude and all the best kinds of mayhem ensues.
Thursdays-Sundays, plus some Wednesdays through May 7 at 97 Hillview Ave., Los Altos. Tickets are $20-$40. losaltosstage.org.
