FOX AND THE LAW, WOLFGANG FUCK, SASHAY, AND SSDD
Thurs Feb 5 at 9 pm at Sunset Tavern
If you’re interested in an actual night of actual rock ’n’ roll/wintertime face-singeing music, Fox and the Law have got your number, and also the numbers of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and a really good pot dealer. Singer Guy Keltner’s voice is more spirited than your average stoner-rock lead, a nice balance for the heavy ’70s riffage. This is the release party for their new album, Live from the Banana Stand. Do get there on time for Sashay’s fast/dirty/fabulous queercore, the raw punk of SSDD (Sick Seals Do Dayquil?), and the hopefully brutal Wolfgang Fuck.

OUR TOWN
7:30 pm at 12th Avenue Arts
A perfect treatment, staged with equal parts human love and Zen detachment, alive to Wilder's words and his larger purpose. Read about arts editor Sean Nelson's personal connection to the play here: "My Family's Connection to Our Town, One of the Most Misunderstood Plays Ever Written."

MOTOR XXI
Thurs Feb 5 at 8 pm at Kremwerk
Vessel and Container on the same bill? Sounds like a recipe for getting carried away. (Rimshot.) Anyway, this show is serious business, for it is MOTOR XXI, and Vessel (Sebastian Gainsborough) and Container (Ren Schofield) rank among this country’s most accomplished producers of dirty and dissonant techno. Vessel’s two albums for Tri Angle—Orders of Noise and Punish, Honey—possess an immaculate industrial grime, their tracks fusing ominous atmospheres and craggy textures. Container’s beats hit with more force and propulsion than do Vessel’s, and his productions evoke construction and ecological devastation more than they do sexual activity.
