What’s Going On: 10/24 – 10/31
1. ELEVEN Presents: Dan Deacon w/ Height with Friends, Chester Endersby Gwazda & Alan Resnick
Where: Hawthorne Theatre
How Much: $13/$15
When: Thursday, October 25th – 8pm
Why: ELEVEN and Mike Thrasher team up for an evening for the books! A Dan Deacon show is like no other show, or even experience for that matter! He is an instigator, a music maker, and he’ll have you dancing and doing things you’ve never done before! Well, unless you’ve been to a Dan Deacon show, then you know exactly what I’m talking about.
2. Record Room’s 2nd Anniversary Show
Where: Record Room
How Much: Free
When: Saturday, October 27th 1pm-10pm
Why: To help celebrate their 2nd anniversary, Record Room has eleven bands for your listening pleasure as well as a delicious food cart (Home Plate Sliders) that will be serving up eats from 1pm-6pm. Music kicks off at 1pm as well with Scared Crow. Get there on time and stick around for a sweet line-up filled with local talents like: The Pynnacles, Old Wars, The Slidells, Charts, and A Happy Death.
3. Therapists w/ The Whines & Still Caves
Where: Club 21
How Much: Free
When: Sunday, October 28th – 9pm
Why: Therapists’ brand of primal punk rock and their adrenaline-fueled shows will most likely leave you with a couple bruises. The Whines, who had one of the best local album so of 2010 (Hell To Play), are back from a hiatus and if I were you I’d catch ‘em while you can. Adding to the radness of the night, Still Caves will kick off the night with a fuzzed-out explosion of garage-punk.

Why: Supporting his fantastic self-titled sophomore effort on Sub Pop, King Tuff (aka Kyle Thomas) steps up his game with one of the best albums released so far this year. King Tuff’s producer, Bobby Harlow, says it best: “King Tuff should not be inspected or even listened to with critical ears. Cut your ears off. Rock & roll is meant to be blasted into your cells, penetrated, and absorbed. It’s a visceral experience.” Indeed.
