Jesus, was yesterday boring or what? After a few scintillating hours doing family stuff, you get released into what? A city that’s boarded down with empty streets and nothing to do. Thanksgiving, you bore the hell out of me. Thankfully (see what I did there?), tonight has a few more options for the restless and cabin-fevered among us. For instance:
As you might have noticed on the front page of the Mercury website, the delightful AIDS Wolf of Montreal is playing Satyricon with Night Wounds, the Get Hustle, and Meth Teeth (ha). AIDS Wolf does a sort of pyscho-psyche-noize-freakout, and have some of the best graphics of any band on the road right now. This is because by day, AIDS Wolf is the badass illustration/design duo better known as Seripop, who do some seriously wicked things.
That show’s at Satyricon, 125 NW 6th, 8 pm, $8, and it’s all ages.
Weirdo rapper Busdriver will be sitting cuckoo rhymes at Holocene tonight, as he is wont to do. In our paper this week, Graham Barey points out that underground rappers are basically trying to out-weird each other these days; I blame the popularity of Kool Keith for a lot of the trend, but remain grateful that MF Doom, Busdriver, et al, stay un-weird enough to show up for most of their concerts. Busdriver raps super fast about zany things—I shudder to even type the phrase “hipster rap,” but if you were looking to start an artistic roster of such a thing, Busdriver would have to be real high on the list.
w/Daedelus, Antimc, DJ Pretty Please; Holocene, 1001 SE Morrison, 9 pm, $8
Finally, for all the dancefloor freaks, the best bet of the night is Eats Tapes, who were just awarded a big electronic music award from the San Francisco Weekly. You can expect crappy (in a good way) drum machines, sequencers, and other wacky tools used to make bleeps, bloops, and bouncy beats. It’s what all the kids are into these days.
Rotture, 315 SE 3rd, 10 pm, $3
Here’s the video for Eats Tapes’ “Magic Carpet Ride,” which is nine kajillion times more interesting than Thanksgiving was.
