Events It's Happening Tonight!
Posted by Alison Hallett on Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 3:29 PM
ROBOTIC PUPPETRY—Canadian DJ and turntablist Kid Koala is bringing his insane futuristic vaudevillian act to town! Besides hearing Kid klassics and songs from his new album, expect sexy girl fan dances, a giant cardboard working gramophone, and... robotic back-up singer puppets?!? The future is a weird place, man. WSH
w/Adira Amram and the Experience; Holocene, 1001 SE Morrison, 8:30 pm, $15
SISTERLY LOVE—Give your ears a loving hug with the prismatic, soft-focus sounds of Twin Sister, who make nostalgic synthpop sound so damn emotional. Some songs make you want to dance! Some songs make you want to cry. Some songs will make you want to do both, just don't freak anybody out on the dance floor. NL
w/Pure Bathing Culture; Bunk Bar, 1028 SE Water, 9 pm, $8-10
