Can't Miss It: Thursday
MOPE ROCK: Sad as it is to say, The Beautiful Confusion are not the reason you should head out to the High Dive for The Beautiful Confusion's CD release party tonight. Unless of course you're into breathy vocal-ed, country-infused folk rock. Which we're not. But the headliner, Little Pieces, we do dig: it's lo-fi, choppy indie rock that doesn't take itself seriously (or possible so seriously you just don't believe it). With Black Nite Crash and Iris I.
9 p.m. // The High Dive, 513 N. 36th Ave. // $6, 21+
SAD BEE: Author Chris Cleave has his second Seattle appearance in a row tonight up at the Third Place Books in Bothell. Cleave reads from his new novel, Little Bee, a depressing novel about the horrors of immigration.
7 p.m. // 17171 Bothell Way NE // free!
SUN BURN: Tonight is the second night of Solo Performance Festival at ToJ, and the last chance to catch "Shorties!", a night of ten short one-person shows. It should be a fantastic bit of theatre and it's just kicking off the three-week run of the festival that will include everything from stand-up comedy to boylesque performance.
8 p.m. // 409 Seventh Ave. // $15
