Events It's Happening Tonight!
Posted by Alison Hallett on Wed, May 9, 2012 at 1:59 PM
BRAIN WAVES—Garnishing tweaked-out, bloodshot psychedelia with sugar-sweet synth candy, Black Moth Super Rainbow's music is like a stranger in an unmarked van, luring you to certain, irresistible danger. Their newest tracks sound like Air's slick Moon Safari fallen on hard, methy times—in other words: beautiful, ruined, and totally compelling. NL
w/Lumerians, Pictorials; Holocene, 1001 SE Morrison, 8:30 pm, $15
BE A FRIEND—There's a little Golden Girl in each of us. Whether you're a Sophia, Rose, Dorothy, or Blanche (or one of their many love interests), swing by the Foggy Notion tonight for a trivia night coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the show's last episode. Costumes encouraged (if not enforced) and cheesecake for all. AZ
The Foggy Notion, 3416 N Lombard, 8:30 pm, FREE
