The Day Fade: Doc Adam, Deena Bee, Jerry Bandito, Dubblife, GHTOBLST
Despite my better judgement about day drinking, there’s just something special about getting faded wayyy before the sun goes down. This Saturday, the White Owl hosts its last Day Fade of summer ’17. As always, there will be games, food and drink specials, giveaways, and most importantly, an eight-hour lineup of dope DJs that will keep you dancing until it’s time to go home and snuggle up with a burrito. My advice: Get there early before the line forms.

McTuff, Skerik
If you can’t attend Pickathon this year, fear not! Seattle jazz trio McTuff will dip into town to play an intimate set deep in the bowels of the Goodfoot’s basement with skronky sax wunderkind Skerik. McTuff’s organ-centric crew exhibits blistering chops, as heard on their most recent LP, Vol. 3: The Root, where their worldly musical muses traverse impressive realms on scorchers like “A Mendacious One” or the glittering dancehall jam “The Brat.” By Saturday’s performance, the band will likely be in full, frothing form. Those inclined to cut a rug had best be in attendance. RYAN J. PRADO

Darsombra, Thrones, Mike Scheidt, Stoller
For those about to get twisted into a trippy, might-as-well-be-on-acid kind of evening, we salute you. Baltimore's Darsombra play the kind of droning ambient metal that lots of bands try really hard to perfect but rarely have the patience to get right. When they aren't doing that, Darsombra get super weird on other experimental aural planes. RYAN J. PRADO

Avi Buffalo, Haunted Summer
Avi Buffalo’s music is all shimmering twilight. His guitar solos carry that racing, nearly fumbling excitement of fingers working a bra clasp, and his lushly layered instrumentations are sure to shine. SAM BOVARNICK
