Ladies Night: Reporter, Wampire, Arohan, Linger & Quiet 

When: Fri., May 6, 8 p.m. 2011
Price: $3-7
Reporter's 2010 debut album, Time Incredible, was an excellent platter of dance-floor synths and Italo-tinged disco, but it could never have been labeled anything close to "warm." That's definitely not the case with their new single, "Skin Like Fire," which damn near has steam rising off it. Heated synth pads glow over an inescapable beat as the band slowly works things to a boil, with singer Alberta Poon cooing, "Rest your head on me/Skin like fire." It's their most humane number and perhaps the catchiest thing they've done since they switched their name from Wet Confetti a few years back. Reporter caps off a very danceable Ladies Night at Branx, in which ladies pay a three-dollar cover while gentlemen pay seven—unless you come dressed in drag. Gents, it will be the best four bucks you've ever saved. NED LANNAMANN
