Can't Miss It: Tuesday
SINGING IN THE RAIN: Iconic American songwriter Jimmy Webb will be playing at the Triple Door tonight along with local indie rock/pop singer, Sage Redman (who's voice could easily be compared to Regina Spektor's). An odd pairing? Possibly. But we're sure these two will have some pretty good tricks up their sleeve. Webb has worked with many of the greats in American music history including Frank Sinatra, Elvis, The Supremes, Richard Harris and more. Some of his unforgettable compositions include MacArthur Park (YEP. The one and only.), Wichita Lineman, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, and Galveston.
7: 30 p.m. // Triple Door, 216 Union St. // Tickets: $25
A NIGHT FOR ZINES: The Hugo House will be hosting the Zines on Toast Tour tonight with Alex Wrekk, zine writer and creator of the DIY guide to zine-making, Stolen Sharpie Revolution. Fellow well-known zine writers Isy Morgenmuffel, Edd Baldry, Steve Larder, Tom Fiction and Natalie will also be on-hand to take part on the discussion covering the UK zine culture, the London zine symposium, vegan mass catering, UK social centres, revolution, punk rock, anarchy and much more.
7-9 p.m. // Hugo House // Tickets: $3-5
A DARK DR. SEUSS AND A DIFFERENT MICKEY MOUSE: The Grand Illusion is coming into their final week of Dennis Nyback's Animation Extravaganza and tonight will feature the animation collections of F**k Mickey Mouse and The Dark Side of Dr. Seuss. The Mickey Mouse segment will include animation from other studios that were hoping to either copy Mickey Mouse or beat Disney to the punch with the next big character in the 1930-40s race for animation arms. Programs will include Red Hot Riding Hood, a much earlier version of Snow White, featuring Betty Boop and more. The Dr. Seuss portion of the evening will feature Ted Geisel's adult-oriented work, war propaganda programming and the army training films that paid his bills before he became everyone's absolute favorite children's author of pretty much all time and forever beyond that.
7, 9 p.m. // The Grand Illusion
