With the popularity of indie dance parties springing up, it’s good to come across two bands that are reaching out to local audiences — with bags full of dance moves and lyrics that hit home. Bonnie Riot crafts a memorable all-inclusive riotgrrl sound that borrows from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and a dozen other indie garage bands. The West Palm Beach-based five-piece has been adding members and tunes to its repertoire since the band’s 2004 debut. But Bonnie Riot isn’t just crafting unforgettable indie dance beats; the band is throwing high energy dance parties each time it takes to the stage. Sharing the marquee is the pop-savvy Ex-Norwegian, a Miami Beach-based three-piece that’s mashed together a few decades worth of influences to push the danciest bits of power pop and garage to the front of the stage. Show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $5. Visit respectablestreet.com, or call 561-832-9999.
