Events It's Happening Tonight!
Posted by Courtney Ferguson on Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 1:29 PM
SHHHH!—James Blake might be quiet in sound, but his deeply personal and evolved take on restrained dubstep packs a mighty wallop. The Londoner's wounded vocoder-assisted croon draws comparisons to his pal Justin Vernon (Bon Iver, duh), and his deeply focused live show will send your heart aflutter. EAC
w/Teengirl Fantasy; Wonder Ballroom, 128 NE Russell, 8 pm, $20-22, all ages
STEAKS—Beloved local dive bar Club 21 just got a facelift, courtesy of new owners (who also own Gold Dust Meridian). An expanded patio is chief among the Club's new assets, but don't worry—the iconic "Steaks" sign isn't going anywhere. Celebrate the bar's reopening tonight alongside bar regulars and a handful of local bands. AH
w/Sons of Huns, Lordy Lords, Advisory, the No Tomorrow Boys; Club 21, 2035 NE Glisan, 9 pm, FREE
