Cool bars with local bands?

My wife and I will be visiting at the end of July and I'm wondering what bars we could go to if we wanted to see some local bands. I like metal, she likes pop-punk, we both enjoy rock and pop, so any ideas are welcome. Just want some recommendations for cool bars/bands to check out for some good times!

We also like drag shows, so if there's some good bars for that we would appreciate that as well!
