Wild Flag
[MUSIC] Carrie Brownstein and company
play hard in concert. The part-Portland quartetâs recent Coachella

with extended solos, whammy-bar noodling and truckloads of distortion.
The Sleater-Kinney influence looms, but Wild Flag is its own avant-punk
animal altogether. Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside St. 9 pm. $15 advance, $18 day of show. All ages.
