Since its 2015 launch in Hamburg, Germany, Meute has been gaining international attention for reimagined techno hits, along with original compositions. Catch the group before it heads to Coachella to close out its tour with back-to-back weekend sets in the desert. With Skye, 7:30 p.m., $25-$39.50, Brooklyn Bowl, ticketweb.com. –Shannon Miller
