Get ready for another hot week of music in the Bay Area, highlighted by one of the better triple bills of the year. Here are some top concert picks:

The Black Keys

Technically speaking, the Keys are the headliners on Nov. 20 at Chase Center in San Francisco. And they certainly deserve to have the top spot, given all the rocking duo has accomplished over the years.

Yet, we’re even more excited to see Modest Mouse, the Issaquah, Washington, outfit behind two of the best indie-rock albums of all time — 2000’s “The Moon & Antarctica” and 2004’s “Good News for People Who Love Bad News.”

Completing the cool triple bill is Oakland’s own Shannon and the Clams.

Details: 7 p.m.; $39.50-$199.50; www.ticketmaster.com

Post Malone

The hip-hop/pop star returns in support of his latest chart-topper, “Hollywood’s Bleeding,” and performs Nov. 14 at Oakland Arena. Swae Lee and Tyla Yaweh are also on the bill.

Details: 8 p.m.; $53.50-$203.50; www.ticketmaster.com

Sleater-Kinney

This sensational band, which will likely be enshrined someday in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is out on the road with a new album, “The Center Won’t Hold,” and performs Nov. 16-17 at the Fox Theater in Oakland. Kaina opens the show.

Details: 8 p.m.; $45; www.ticketmaster.com

Bloc Party

The British indie-rock outfit performs its hit debut, 2005’s “Silent Alarm,” on Nov. 20 at The Masonic in San Francisco. LPX is also on the bill.

Details: 8 p.m.; $45-$65; www.livenation.com
