For more than two years, the Know—a longtime haven for the crustiest and gnarliest metal and punk bands—has hosted the monthly showcase Thirsty City, showcasing local and touring hip-hop, rap, and other electro-alchemists. Tonight sadly marks the final installment of Thirsty City before the Know’s Alberta location closes at the end of the month (unless the showcase continues at the Know’s new spot on NE Sandy). But they’re turning all the way up for this one. In addition to sets from up-and-coming emcee Karma Rivera and space-rapper Slick Devious, tonight brings together veteran emcee Vursatyl—from iconic Portland group Lifesavas—and Mic Capes, who is on track to assuming the mantle of a new generation of Portland hip-hop. With DJ sets by the always-on-point Deena Bee and Lamar LeRoy, tonight isn’t so much the end of an era as it is a celebration of a new one. SANTI ELIJAH HOLLEY
