LOOK: The month ahead

APRIL 6 Patrice Pike first gained notice for her soulful vocals and stage presence in Sister 7, but since going solo several years ago, her greatest notice came last year when she was a finalist on CBS' "Rockstar: Supernova,” in which the Austin singer-songwriter auditioned for a band featuring Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke and Jason Newsted. Pike performs at 11:30 p.m. April 6 at VZD's, 4200 N Western. For more information, call 524-4200.

13 The roots of AFI were in the early '90s Berkeley, Calif., punk scene, where the band jockeyed for attention alongside Green Day, but by 1999's "Black Sails in the Sunset,” the group led by singer Davey Havok had adopted a "dark wave” sound that it has tweaked and streamlined on its latest hit disc, "Decemberunderground.” AFI will play with guests Papa Roach, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Saosin at 5 p.m. April 13 at the Cox Convention Center, 1 Myriad Gardens. Tickets are $19 to $38.50. For more information, call 235-8288.

14 One of alternative country's greatest singer-songwriters, Neko Case, got her start in punk bands but has quickly established herself as an eclectic, unpredictable artist, both with the Canadian power-pop super group, The New Pornographers, and in her solo career. See Case perform at 8 p.m. April 14 at the Bricktown Ballroom, 103 E California. Tickets are $20. For more information, go online to www.okctickets.com.

18 Pink Floyd might never undertake a full-scale reunion tour, so The Pink Floyd Experience could be the best option for people who missed the full Floydian spectacle. The band plays note-for-note recreations of Pink Floyd hits and its stage presentation mirrors the classic Floyd props, including a 12-foot pig blimp. The Pink Floyd Experience takes place at 8 p.m. April 18 at Rose State College Performing Arts Theater, 6000 Trosper Road, Midwest City. Tickets are $40. For more information, call 297-2264.

26 For people who prefer their stand-up comedy with big helpings of irony and performance art, Neil Hamburger and Pleaseeasaur are the perfect package tour. Hamburger's shtick is packed with bad pacing and hackneyed subjects, and Pleaseeasaur (featured on Cartoon Network's "Sealab 2021”) is a wrong-headed musical revue with rapid-fire costume changes. See Hamburger and Pleaseeasaur at 9 p.m. April 26 at Opolis, 113 Crawford, Norman. Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door. For more information, call 820-0951.
