William Parker is one of the most consequential bassists in free jazz, and this trio with Hamid Drake on drums and Cooper Moore on homemade instruments is about as serious as this music gets. Outpost is a small, acoustically honest room, which means nowhere to hide and nothing lost, a genuine advantage for a set...
Twin Temple performs their self-described Satanic doo-wop, a genuinely strange and committed act built around Alexandra and Zachary Twin's old-school vocal harmonies set against occult pageantry. The Sunshine's general admission floor gets intimate fast for a show like this, so arriving early puts you closer to whatever ritual they have planned. Tickets are through Hold...
Bourbon & Boots runs this one late, a rotating international music dance night that keeps going until 6 a.m. on a Friday morning, technically. That's not a typo, and if...
A horror-themed stand-up hour in the taproom of Painted Lady Bed & Brew, the only brewpub on the corridor where guests are literally sleeping upstairs during the show.
