WEDNESDAY AUG. 27
FINAL WEEKLY RECURRING HUMOR NIGHT
[COMEDY] After 3
½
years, one of the sturdiest fixtures of the local standup scene comes
to an end tonight. The giant slate of comedians includes Nathan Brannon,
Kristine Levine, Bri Pruett and Sean Jordan, and donât forget to buy
Whitney Streed a drinkâthe longtime host deserves it. Tonic Lounge, 3100 NE Sandy Blvd., 238-0543. 9 pm. âPay what you want,â $3-$5 suggested. 21+.
AVEY TAREâS SLASHER FLICKS
[MUSIC] Of Animal Collectiveâs many
talented and strange parts, Avey Tare might be the most talentedâ¦and the
strangest. His new outfit, Slasher Flicks, mixes acid jazz and spooky
freak-rock into a mysterious, animated soundâlike a graphic novel come
to life. Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi Ave., 288-3895. 9 pm. $15. 21+.
THURSDAY AUG. 28
BATH NIGHT
[SKETCH] In the world of this sketch
comedy show, youâll find a Miss America stage mom, a â90s pop Pandora
station that keeps interrupting a torture session, and a
poker-illiterate James Bond. Itâs a side-splitting, jaunty ride, with a
superb cast of performers. Shaking the Tree Studio, 1407 SE Stark St., 235-0635. 8 pm (continues through Aug. 30). $17-$20.
SLINT
[MUSIC] In 1990, four kids from Kentucky recorded a weird, wondrous album called Spiderland,
enrapturing an entire generation of musicians. Problem was, by the time
it came out, the band had already broken up. Fans have been trying to
solve the mystery of Slint ever since. Luckily, the group has made
things easier in recent years, reuniting for sporadic touring, but its
knotty songs remain as enigmatic as ever. Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside St., 225-0047. 9 pm. $29 advance, $35 day of show. All ages.
FRIDAY AUG. 29
THE BOTH
[MUSIC] Ted Leoâs jumpy punk rock meets
Aimee Mannâs signature melancholy in this all-star indie-rock duo,
producing surprisingly dynamic duets, in which Leoâs foot-tapping riffs
are given a soothing counterpunch only Mann could provide. Aladdin Theater, 3017 SE Milwaukie Ave., 234-9694. 8 pm. $25. Under 21 permitted with legal guardian.
SATURDAY AUG. 30
UNCOMMON WINE FESTIVAL
[WINE] Vista Hills Vineyard in Dayton
will host seven wine producers who make less than 200 bottles of wine a
year, with tasting and purchasing opportunities that usually donât make
it anywhere near a market. Vista Hills Vineyard, 6475 NE Hilltop Lane, Dayton, 864-3200. Noon-5 pm. $30.
