Tonight's top shows: Divine Fits, R. Kelly

Divine Fits: What do you get when you put together Spoon’s Britt Daniel, Wolf Parade’s Dan Boeckner and New Bomb Turks’ Sam Brown? More than just an indulgent side project, for starters. Daniel’s cool plays off Boeckner’s agitation in the trio’s stripped-down debut, “A Thing Called Divine Fits” (Merge). Watch out for Alex Fischel, who adds new-wave keyboards, 7 p.m. Thursday at Logan Square Auditorium, 2539 N. Kedzie, $20; emptybottle.com.
