Influential Canadian indie band The New Pornographers have steadily released music since 2000's "Mass Romantic," and have remained a strong force in music even while seeing the astronomic (well, among indie-folk circles) rise to fame of one of the group's vocalists, Neko Case. On their current tour, the band is performing two separate shows; the first night, Saturday, is a full-album run-through of "Mass Romantic," and the second, Sunday, is a run-through of 2005's "Twin Cinema." According to setlists posted online, the band then plays a long encore of other songs — but nothing from the album from the other night. Good luck trying to choose a night. Details: Two performances, 9 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10 ("Mass Romantic") and 8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11 ("Twin Cinema"). The Belly Up, 143 S.
