Re-run Theater: Miami Vice Fest 6
The next time some jackass starts blathering on about how we're in âthe golden age of television,â remind them of one simple fact: The golden age of television already came, and it was when Miami Vice ruled the airwaves! Tonight marks Re-Run Theater's sixth annual celebration of all things Vice: Miami Vice Fest 6 promises not one but two classic eps of the groundbreaking series... on the big screen, and with âthe brightest and flashiest of â80s commercialsâ playing whenever Crockett and Tubbs aren't saving Miami from drug dealers and/or earth tones. Prepare yourself for neon. Prepare yourself for synth. Prepare yourself for righteous brotherhood. Prepare yourself for Miami Vice. ERIK HENRIKSEN

Brian Cox
You absolutely love Scottish character actor Brian Cox, even if his name doesnât ring a bell. Go ahead, Google him. Yeah. That guy. The star of Manhunter, Rushmore, and Churchill will be telling stories tonight in his amazing Scottish accent, and if that doesnât convince you, check out the series of videos he did for Esquire in which he teaches us how to properly pronounce the names of every single-malt scotch. NED LANNAMANN

Dana Buoy, Ellis Pink, Holidae House
Dana Buoy's life in Portland has seemed a little quiet for someone whose credentials include being a member of avant-pop group Akron/Family. Despite the little splashes, Buoy's made good on his promise as an artist, making fantastic whirlpools of bubbling pop perfect for the dog days of summer, but pretty great for any other time, too.

8:30 pm, Holocene, $7-8
Thirsty City: 3 Year Anniversary

Arctic Flowers, Over, Fleshh, Dark Entries, Beta Male
Arctic Flowers raise hell. Their screeching guitars and militant drums paint a particularly dismal soundscape, while lead singer Alex Carroccio's gothy, new wave vocals unleash a tornado of anarchic destruction. Her punchy, resistant voice swoops in like a superhero, beats up the boogeyman under the bed, and vanquishes all evil in a surprisingly positive and empowering twist. CIARA DOLAN
8 pm, White Owl Social Club, free
