While Bad Brains‘ new Rise doesn’t approach the vitality of the group’s early- and mid-’80s work, it is still competent, if unremarkable, funk metal. Tonight’s show may offer Washington transplants an archaeological glimpse into the District’s vaunted musical past. Second Thought opens at 8:45 p.m. at the 9:30 Club, 930 F St. NW. $15.
