Six Picks: Our experts pick their favorites for the week

Reunion tour

Before he was the Aceman, king of all podcasting, Adam Carolla was the funny guy who kept Dr. Drew (Pinsky) from getting too technical on “Loveline.” Now the two are doing a reunion tour and taking your calls today from the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay. Tickets are $19-$45 for the 9 p.m. show; call 632-7600.

Occultation

Female-fronted doom bands are swiftly becoming as prevalent in the metal ranks as sleeveless T-shirts and indecipherable band logos. But Occultation distinguish themselves from these increasingly crowded hordes with tunes that are as haunting as they are heavy and as entrancing as a hypnotist’s swinging pocket watch. See the band at 9 p.m. Saturday at Favorites, 4110 S. Maryland Parkway. Tickets are $7; call 796-1776.

‘Casablanca’

You must remember this. But in case you don’t, a digitally restored version of “Casablanca” is returning to theaters for a day. See them play it again at 2 and 7 p.m. Wednesday at Sam’s Town, Santa Fe Station, South Point and Suncoast.

Prince and Graae

Between them, award-winning performers Faith Prince and Jason Graae have 13 Broadway shows to their credit. And now, they’ve gotten their collective act together, titled it “The Prince and the Showboy” and taken it on the road — to, among other places, The Smith Center’s Cabaret Jazz, 361 Symphony Park Ave., where they’ll be strutting their stuff at 7 p.m. today and Saturday. For tickets ($39-$49), call 749-2000 or go online to www.thesmithcenter.com.

Twist is open Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Dan Reynolds

Las Vegas band Imagine Dragons hit it big last year with their album “Night Visions” and the songs “It’s Time” and “Radioactive.” Tonight, you can see Imagine’s singer-songwriter Dan Reynolds DJ at Body English nightclub. He’s a really nice guy, too.
