LIVE MUSIC

Wavves: 12th Anniversary of "King of the Beach"
Past Event Like List Former-stoner punk/Wavves frontman Nathan Williams will take a break from his current stint as a Los Angeles landlord to celebrate the twelve-year anniversary of the band's third album, King of the Beach, which is often cited as paving the way for the indie surf rock revival of the 2010s, along with artists like Best Coast, Ty Segall, and FIDLAR. Psych-pop project BOYO and shoegaze-influenced quintet Smut will come along for the ride.
(Aladdin Theater, Brooklyn)

TUESDAY

FILM

Thief in 35mm
Past Event Like List This special 35mm screening of Thief pays tribute to late actor James Caan, who was beloved for his depictions of rough-around-the-edges tough guys. Set to an experimental synth soundtrack by Tangerine Dream, Michael Mann's '81 neo-noir flick follows Caan as Frank, a diamond thief on the lookout for one final score before settling down. Of course, a life of crime is never that simple—Frank cozies up to the wrong crowd, leading to a sinister showdown.
(Hollywood Theatre, Hollywood District)

LIVE MUSIC

Burning Spear Past Event Like List
As one of the longest-standing and most influential reggae artists around, Burning Spear (AKA Winston Rodney) began making music in 1969, blending the American soul sounds that he picked up on his radio with traditional roots music from his home of Saint Ann, Jamaica. Now, more than two dozen albums and half a decade later, he’s still touring the world with political anthems like "Marcus Garvey" and "Slavery Days." 
(Roseland Theater, Old Town-Chinatown)

Devin The Dude with Big Cheeko & Willy J Peso Past Event Like List
I once read a piece about Devin the Dude, aka Devin Copeland, called “Your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper,” and it opens, “Devin the Dude is probably the greatest hip-hop artist you’ve never heard.” It was written in 2000, and in some ways, it still rings true. In this case, you probably don’t think you know him, but you’ve damn sure heard him. See: Dr. Dre’s “Fuck You,” De La Soul’s “Baby Phat,” Devin the Dude’s own “What a Job,” which feels like an Outkast knockoff and actually features Andre 3000 along with Snoop Dogg. Devin has a healthy funkadelic swag to his productions, lyrics that often dwell on his favorite pastime (smoking weed), and a spacey soulful flow. LEILANI POLK
(Star Theater, Old Town-Chinatown)

Isaac Yoder's Mad Madder Maddalena blends reds, pinks, and browns in an earthy interpretation of devotional art. Centering the contentious figure of Mary Magdalene, Yoder used madder plants to create a rusty hue that was popular among textile dyers of medieval Europe. The ancient dye plant blends with glitter, screenprinted text, and Polaroid images for a push-pull between traditional and contemporary mediums, bringing new life to ancient imagery.

(Portland Art Museum, South Park Blocks, Saturday-Sunday; opening)

Kelli Connell: Double Life, 20 Years
