Weekend Music
Head to the Sunset tonight for Sub Pop band Oxford Collapse. Along with Love as Laughter, it's a veritable indie pop fest!
It's hard to know what to expect from a hardcore band named Fucked Up, but apparently it involves manboobs and a bunny mask. They're also playing tonight, at the Vera Project.
Tomorrow night, if you are willing to brave it down to the Showbox SoDo, there's the always-sublime TV on the Radio with mucho up-and-comer Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson.
Nightcap is a new late-night variety event at the Triple Door, curated by Lily Verlaine. For Saturday's debut, Lily will be joined by Mama Lou: American Strongwoman, Lara Paxton of Circus Contraption and The Aerialistas, burlesque care of Paula The Swedish Housewife, Elizabeth Ripley (formerly of the Seattle Opera) accompanied by a live pianist, and the jazz sounds of the Matt Jorgensen Quintet.
Sunday night marks the end of the Dead Science's weeklong Villainaire Festival of Culture with their all-ages record release show at Neumo's. Here's a clip of them playing earlier this week at Wall of Sound:
And finally Sunday, there's John Reis of Rocket from the Crypt/Hot Snakes/Drive Like Jehu fame with his new band, the Night Marchers, and Colour Revolt at King Cobra.
