Critics' Pick: Turkuaz at Rex Theater

musicpicks_turkuaz_44.jpg

[FUNK AND SOUL] + THU., NOV. 2

The color palette of the Brooklyn band Turkuaz is somewhere between a rainbow and an exploded Crayola box. Like the band itself, which clocks in at nine members, the sound is big and varied, encompassing bits of funk, soul and pop. I know what you’re thinking: Nine?! That’s just not enough musicians. Luckily, Turkuaz will be joined at the Rex Theater by the extremely listenable soul of 10-piece Houston band The Suffers. That’s enough people for a basketball game, which I know, because I Googled “how many basketball players on a court?”

8 p.m. 1602 E. Carson St., South Side. $18-22. 21 and older. 412-381-6811 or www.rextheater.net
