50 THINGS TO DO IN APRIL

April is here, folks, and it’s not just the month of Tax Day dread or cherry blossoms—it’s a full-blown festival of fun, packed with events that’ll have you trading your couch for tickets faster than you can say “spring vibes.” From industrial pioneers to cult-followed bands, this month is serving up 50 reasons to get out there and live your best life. Let’s break it down.

THIS WEEK

🪩 Rubblebucket

Tomorrow @ Revolution Hall (8PM)

Rubblebucket is equal parts indie pop, art-rock, and psychedelic dance, with a twist of funk and a splash of disco.

🎤 John Grant

Tomorrow @ Aladdin Theater (7PM)

John Grant isn’t just a musician; he’s a genre-defying, heart-wrenching, laugh-out-loud-funny enigma wrapped in a synthesizer.

🎸 Lunar Vacation

Tomorrow @ Polaris Hall (8PM)

Indie rock quintet Lunar Vacation is the sonic equivalent of cannonballing into a pool on a scorching summer day—refreshing, a little chaotic, and absolutely unforgettable.

🔥 Belphegor

Tomorrow @ Hawthorne Theatre (6:30PM)

Infernal quartet Belphegor has been pummeling eardrums and defying decency since 1991. Named after a literal demon—yes, that Belphegor—they’ve spent over three decades perfecting the art of sonic blasphemy.

🎥 How Did This Get Made

Tomorrow @ Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall (7:30PM)

What’s up, movie masochists? If you’ve ever watched a film so bafflingly bad that it left you questioning not just Hollywood but humanity itself, then How Did This Get Made? Live is your personal mecca.
