THIS WEEK

🎸 Architects

Tonight @ Crystal Ballroom (7PM)

Architects are coming through like a freight train full of feelings. Whether you’re here for the pit or the philosophy, you’ll leave with both.

🇧🇷 Novos Baianos

Tonight @ Aladdin Theater (8PM)

Novos Baianos blend samba, psychedelia, and rock into something that still sounds like freedom. Experience pure 70s Brazil energy during their first-ever North American Tour!

🤘 The Acacia Strain

Tomorrow @ Roseland Theater (6:30PM)

The Acacia Strain makes music for when you want to slam your soul into a wall. It’s heavy. It’s hateful. It’s weirdly therapeutic.

🔥 Royel Otis 

Tomorrow @ Pioneer Square (7PM)

Royel Otis sounds like the best day of your summer, bottled and played back through a slightly warped cassette. Their music’s all dreamy guitar lines, sideways charm, and hooks that stick to your brain like sunscreen you forgot to rub in.

😂 Lady Killers

Tomorrow @ Mississippi Studios (8PM)

Lady Killers is a femme-focused stand-up comedy show highlighting the best female comedians in the Pacific Northwest, hosted by Ally J Ward and Devan Daily.

Song of the day: Don’t Speak - No Doubt
