Alkaline Trio concert: 8 p.m., Boulder Theater, 2032 14th St., Boulder. In more than 25 years together, Alkaline Trio has created their own little universe in their songs, one that is a bit dark, a bit brooding and always just a few short steps away from Armageddon. Their music has been a reliable black mirror of reality. And now, as the band releases their monumental tenth album, “Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs,” the real world looks more like an Alkaline Trio song than ever before-midway through a global meltdown and 90 seconds to midnight on the Doomsday Clock. z2ent.com.
