Live! Tonight! Not Sold-Out!

Want to see some live music tonight? Here are your best options, curated by the Willamette Week music staff.

SUNDAY, OCT. 18

Nobunny, Patsy's Rats, Phantom Family

[GARAGE ROCK] Nobunny is a sniveling pervert cobbled together from the slime of Tucson's gutter. Live, expect to find a sickly looking man covered in thick, viscous, oily sweat, mostly or totally nude, his no doubt hideous face covered by the torn-up remnants of what was once a rabbit mask. The band behind him is crude and primitive, made up of the dregs of society. Nobunny has a veneer of barely controlled insanity behind his prodigous hooks and catchy songs that sound as if the Cramps were covering 1910 Fruitgum Company—the man, clearly, is a psychopath. BRACE BELDEN. Analog Cafe & Theater, 720 SE Hawthorne Blvd. 6 pm. $12. 21+.

Death, Guantanamo Baywatch

[RISE OF THE LIVING DEAD] In 2009, when the Chicago label Drag City issued a seven-song collection by the forgotten '70s band Death, it was a collective "holy shit" moment for rock historians. With snarled vocals and frenzied rhythms more harried than the wildest garage rock of the era, it appeared that three black siblings from inner-city Detroit had kind of, sort of, invented punk rock. In the ensuing years, the surviving Hackney brothers—the third, David, died in 2000—picked up and started touring again, and in April released a new album, unimaginatively titled N.E.W. Despite picking up not too far from where the band left off, it can't measure up to the allure of those formerly lost recordings, but no matter: Death has risen, and that's miracle enough. MATTHEW SINGER. Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi Ave. 9 pm. $20. 21+.

Boosie BadAzz, Clemm Rishad, Sky City, Easy McCoy, Get It Squad

[DIRTY SOUTH] Drake gets the headlines, Kendrick Lamar the plaudits and Meek Mill…well, he's still dating Nicki Minaj. But what of Lil Boosie BadAzz? After his career was derailed by a cornucopia of legal problems—including first-degree murder—the freshly exonerated Louisiana mixtape legend releasedTouch Down 2 Cause Hell earlier this year, and it's among the more frighteningly direct rap releases of 2015, winding through a variety of emotions, from anger to regret, as Boosie shouts with the aggression of a dude who really thought he'd never see a recording booth ever again. It hasn't quite gotten the national attention it deserves—and it is, admittedly, a few songs too long—but if you ask BadAzz, he'll surely take regional cult hero over the other option any day. MATTHEW SINGER. Roseland Theater, 8 NW 6th Ave. 8 pm. $35-$100. All ages.

Portland Taiko, Kenny Endo Taiko Ensemble

[JAPANESE PERCUSSION] For a while there, it was looking like we'd have to bang the drum slowly for Portland Taiko, with last year's big leadership changes and reduced number of appearances placing the Japanese percussion ensemble's future in doubt. But happily, the longtime fixtures of Portland's world music scene are back under new management—and collaborating with an old colleague, veteran California composer Kenny Endo, one of the West's most renowned taiko musicians. He's bringing an ensemble that includes fue (Japanese flute), vibraphone and percussion. The show also features choreographed movement, the Portland premiere of a new composition for taiko percussion, and violin by Keiko Araki. BRETT CAMPBELL. St. Anne's Chapel at Marylhurst University, 17600 Pacific Highway (Hwy. 43). 3 pm. $23. All ages.
