MUSIC—We thought we’d lost Sun Angle after one of the three anglers, guitarist Charlie Salas Humara, developed some ear problems that prevented further live shows. Well, all is well again, and Sun Angle is back, with leaping, phosphene-like, dervish psych-rock that’ll lick all your decals off. NED LANNAMANN

BOOKS—Literary Arts has spent 30 years showcasing literary culture in Portland—including supporting local writers and bringing top-tier national talent to town. They think that many years entitles them to a party. We… agree! Tonight, they celebrate with Elizabeth Gilbert, Calvin Trillin, and Colin Meloy. ALISON HALLETT
