Friday:
Get Pissed: Experience the heavy fuzz of South Carolina's Pissed Jeans at Johnny Brenda's. A friend of ours swears it'll be like watching Jesus Lizard in their prime, and you should always trust friends of The Feast. $10 8 p.m.
Myq with a Q: Last Comic Standing finalist, Late Night with Conan O'Brien regular and Comedy Central Presents performer Myq Kaplan brings his nerdy, observational humor to Helium for the first of a two-night, four-gig stay. $20-$27
Saturday:
Sitar Concert: Tonight, at the Painted Bride Art Center, a transcendental experience. Tabla legend Zakir Hussain and young sitar prodigy Niladri Kumar play North Indian Classical music to an audience sitting in complete darkness. This is a must-see (well, or at least a must-experience). $30 6 p.m.
Sunday:
White Stripes Tribute: Join local bands Big Terrible, Satellite Hearts, and Toy Soldiers as they pay tribute to the recently-split White Stripes, considered one of the most important of rock bands of this era. Red, white and black attire is encouraged! $12 8 p.m.
Weekends can be a gamble, so why leave them up to chance? Stack the deck every Friday by peeping Play's Weekend Bender.
