Yonatan Gat was recently voted "Best Guitarist of 2013" by the Village Voice. There. Now go to the show. More? Formerly of the Israeli garage rock powerhouses, Monotonix, Gat has turned his eyes to the far corners of musical expression. Incorporating a dizzying variety of cultural influences - tropicalia, Middle Eastern music, psych rock, blistering punk, African pop - Gat has emerged as a chameleonic interpreter of rock 'n' roll in its many shifting forms. This is all a long way of saying that his guitar mastery has churned and congealed into wonderfully thrilling music. At the Northern, he will be joined by Arrington de Dionyso, another culturally voracious and experimental musician, as well as the king of Olympia weirdos, Calvin Johnson. This show is gonna be one for the history books.

YONATAN GAT, w/ Arrington de Dionyso, Calvin Johnson, 8 p.m., Northern, 414 ½ E. Fourth Ave., Olympia, $6
