Weekend! Chocolate Rabbits

Posted by Ned Lannamann on Fri, Mar 21 at 4:07 PM

Yeah, it’s Easter weekend. But instead on stuffing yourself with chocolate rabbits, you might want to gorge on the feast of live music that’s hitting town this weekend. Last night, you faced the brainwracking dilemma of too many good shows to go to (School of Language, Boredoms, Builders and the Butchers, etc.) and tonight is no relief. You’ve got a very difficult decision ahead of you. Amongst lots of other choices, tonight sees the following notable shows:

Berbati’s Pan (10 SW 3rd) - March Into Darkness Metal Fest w/Middian, Indian, Red Fang, SubArachnoid Space; 9 pm, $10
Dante’s (1 SW 3rd) - Grand Archives, Adam Shearer of Weinland; 9:30 pm, $10
East End (203 SE Grand) - CD Baby 10th Anniversary Party w/AristeiA, Seti; 9 pm, FREE
Holocene (1001 SE Morrison) - Born Ruffians, Cadence Weapon, Nurses; 9 pm, $10
Someday Lounge (125 NW 5th) - The Velvet Teen, Crosstide, Aloha, Carcrashlander; 9 pm, $10
Wonder Ballroom (128 NE Russell) - Black Moth Super Rainbow, Dengue Fever; 8 pm, $10, all ages

Saturday’s not much easier:

Audiocinema (226 SE Madison) - Benefit for Shadyah Mustafa w/The Shaky Hands, Brothers of the Baladi, Power of County, Diamond Tuck & the Privates, Dahlia; 8 pm, $10
Berbati’s Pan (10 SW 3rd) - March Into Darkness Metal Fest w/Agalloch, Red Sparowes, Grayceon, Russian Circles; 9 pm, $10-14, all ages
Doug Fir (830 E Burnside) - Kaki King, Matt Sheehy; 9 pm, $14
Towne Lounge (714 SW 20th Place) - Headlights, Evangelicals, Southerly; 9:30 pm, $6

I suggest nibbling at the ears for starters, then switching to the opposite end and biting off the tail. You could then go for the hind legs, although I’d probably chew off the head. But really, to each his/her own. (Oh, and I’ll be at East End tonight and Towne Lounge tomorrow night.) One thing’s for certain, though—YOU CAN’T STAY HOME.

Comments

Ned-- I can't believe I didn't see this. I have been away from the Internet for days. I would have posted a comment earlier about how you should say hi to me at East End (I play in AristeiA). I ended up seeing Russian Circles and Red Sparrows on Sat. Though I also really wanted to go to the Towne Lounge ( I like metal-ish stuff and pop-ish stuff). Oh well.
