 yacht, on tap tonight at vera. old pic, via me. |
- Oh, how the incredible summer mural concert series continues, bidding you to get out of your office well before 6 pm and over to Seattle Center. Today’s headliners, San Francisco’s the Dodos bring all of the fuzzy red glows, foot stomping, and bright guitar picking you need from the “folk” part of their convenient genre label, but guide you more gently, lyrically, and slow oxidizing paintlike to the “psych” part. With Army Navy. $free, but for the beer garden and blankets. 6- 8 pm [kexp]
- Stick around and visit the Vera Project, where Portland’s YACHT will be headlining. In his performances Jona Bechtolt, with his glitchy funk beats and motivational dancing, transforms into something spectacular on the way to convincing you that his magic is real. $11, with Bobby Birdman. 7:30 pm. [veraproject]
- Hurry from that show to Belltown, where there’s a major happening scheduled for tonight at the Crocodile, starring Head Like a Kite. In the opening slot, Mad Rad will be performing for the first time with a beardless Terry Radjaw following his defeat on the Funhouse court last night by Sir Thomas in an allegedly tight one-on-one basketball beard-off. Dyme Def fill out the bill, making the possibility of shenanigans highly likely. [crocodile]
- all weekend, find your way, chemically or otherwise, going back to the future with Hempfest.
