Here's what's up on area stages tonight & in the coming week

Live music and more, tonight through Thursday, compiled by Shaun Brady, Tom Di Nardo, James Johnson, Sara Sherr and Jonathan Takiff.

KISS: Yeah, Beth, these guys do seem ageless and iconic, as long as Gene Simmons isn't spouting off about his studliness. The superhero makeup and signature logos/flashbombs still dazzle, as do their appearances in soft drink commercials. And for sure, KISS can still "Rock and Roll All Nite." With The Academy Is . . . and local showcase winners the Envy. Susquehanna Bank Center, 1 Harbour Blvd., Camden, 6:30 tonight, $130.75, $75.75, $45.75, $25.75, $19.75 (4-pack lawn, indiv.), 800-745-3000, www.livenation.com.

Keane: "I'm not living for the future anymore" proclaims Keane on their latest, eight-tune (!) collection, "Night Train."

Susana Baca: Leading light of the Afro-Peruvian music scene applies a most polished and sensual vocal touch to the lilting, polyrhythmic folkloric music of her land and people.

Tracy Bonham: Darkly comic, sometimes carny-toned singer/songwriter/fiddler will pull you into the big top of her life with droll story songs like "Devil's Got Your Boyfriend" and "We Moved Our City to the Country," both popping off her just out, damn fine "Masts of Manhattan" album. And opening act Bleu arrives with a big bag of "Gee, he wrote that?" songs that have been covered by the likes of Jonas Brothers, Boys Like Girls, Hanson and Kate Voegel.
