Top weekend shows: Earth, OM, Rosanne Cash

Earth: Formerly notable for their slow, earth-moving drone, this Pacific Northwest outfit has morphed into something a good deal more nuanced in its second incarnation under the guidance of founding member Dylan Carlson. The pioneering band, which counted the late Kurt Cobain as a fan and even an occasional collaborator, is now exploring the quieter contours of the sonic spectrum once entirely missing from its loud, heavy repertoire, 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday at Township, 2200 N. California Av., $15; ticketweb.com.
