LIVE MUSIC

Belle & Sebastian Past Event Like List
With Gen-Z reviving the twee movement, it’s honestly shocking that Glasgow indie-poppers Belle & Sebastian haven’t blown up on TikTok yet with their endless catalog of tunes about riding the bus, getting lost in a book, and falling in love.

Raveena Past Event Like List

If you need to feel better, or at the very least calm the fuck down, listen to Raveena. Or if you’re simply in the mood for something peaceful, dreamy, and soul-drenched, listen to Raveena.

(Q Nightclub, Capitol Hill)

Violent Femmes Past Event Like List
Few rock bands have emerged on the scene with more raw vitality than did Milwaukee's Violent Femmes with their self-titled 1983 album. The platinum-selling Violent Femmes abounds with instantly catchy, immediately engrossing songs about young-person angst, all stripped down to their most crucial essentials. Front man Gordon Gano channeled Lou Reed and Jonathan Richman vocal tics and lyrical tropes with very relatable results. Tough act to follow, but 1984's Christianity-haunted Hallowed Ground proved the Femmes could go darker yet. I stopped following them after 1986's The Blind Leading the Naked, but one listen to 2019's Hotel Last Resort reveals that Gano and bassist Brian Ritchie's flair for spare, infectious folk rock hasn't diminished much over the last 37 years.

If we must live through an era of pandemic-driven fear and uncertainty, at least David Sedaris is around to offer his two cents on the whole shebang. In Happy-Go-Lucky, the quintessential humorist shares notes on his life pre- and mid-pandemic—when once he learned to shoot guns and hung out in Serbian flea markets, he's now shifted to solitary walks and reflections on a battle-scarred country marked by empty storefronts and political graffiti. Sedaris will be joined by Cindy House, author of Mother Noise. House credits Sedaris with saving her life—perhaps she'll share why in her opening act.
(Third Place Books, Lake Forest Park)

Elif Batuman Past Event Like List
Elif Batuman, who was a Pulitzer finalist for her 2017 book The Idiot, returns with Either/Or, which continues the saga of The Idiot's intense—and a little insecure—protagonist. Set in 1996, the novel unravels Selin's story further with Batuman's signature funny, micro-observational style.

PERFORMANCE

PeregriNasyon, Is America in the Heart?
Past Event Like List This outdoor production gives attendees a glimpse into the lives of Filipino farm workers during the Great Depression, modeled after America is in the Heart, a '40s-era semi-autobiographical novel by Carlos Bulosan. As a Filipino farmworker, Bulosan immigrated to the US to labor in West Coast canneries and farmlands; he taught himself to read and write in English to document his experiences. Bulosan's work stands out as similar to Steinbeck's, but is far less well-known. Chris Millado, a Filipino American playwright, set out to change that by adapting the novel into a play back in 1994—this performance from Velasco Arts and Bindlestiff Studio shares an excerpt from Millado's adaptation.

It's anything but relaxing, though—toxic masculinity simmers under the surface of the dreadful town.

This self-titled show at the Frye is a survey of Quarles’ work from the past three years and is the largest presentation of hers to date. It also marks the US debut of what the press materials call “a large-scale installation that playfully references trompe l’oeil.” In addition to paintings, Christina Quarles will also feature drawings “which will often include text that references vernacular language and popular culture.” Dope!
