The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick
[FILM] Wim Wenders' stunning second feature was shelved for decades thanks to German music regulations. This rerelease—with a new soundtrack—will kick off the Film Center's Wenders retrospective. Northwest Film Center's Whitsell Auditorium, 1219 SW Park Ave., 221-1156. 7 pm. $9.
Saturday March 5

Sunday March 6
Eleanor Friedberger
[INDIE ROCK] Eleanor Friedberger's work as a member of the Fiery Furnaces was a jubilant celebration of weird, tripped-out bliss. As a solo artist, though, she's gone for a more subdued aesthetic. The tunes on her vibrant, sunny new record, New View, employ a relaxed tone drawn from her own personal experiences. Doug Fir Lounge, 830 E Burnside St., 231-9663. 8 pm. $12 advance, $14 day of show. 21+.
Monday March 7
Protomartyr
[POST-PUNK] Protomartyr's gloomy, gritty post-punk appeals to nebbish goths and punk ruffians alike. Frontman Joe Casey made last year's The Agent Intellect a cathartic exorcism of personal demons and familial loss, giving the band its most praised release to date. Doug Fir Lounge, 830 E Burnside St., 231-9663. 8 pm. $12. 21+.
