Noisy Rhode Island duo Lightning Bolt took nearly four years between albums, completely scrapping two finished sets when the recordings didn’t live up to their idea of sonic perfection. That’s a particularly tricky goal with this duo, who acknowledge Japanese noise-rockers like The Boredoms as influences equal to sonic experimentalists Sun Ra and Philip Glass for their latest, Earthly Delights. Lightning Bolt likes to eschew stages in favor of playing on the floor among their audiences, and are infamous for starting their sets while the opening act is still packing out its gear, so get to Kilby early and bring earplugs for this gig. Palace of Buddies and Birthquake open the show. Kilby Court, 741 S. 330 West, 7 p.m., $12
