MUSIC—It might take a bit of jamming and cramming, but push and shove your way into the tiny confines of Star Bar to hear the heavy, heavy fun-time sounds of Gaytheist. These smarty-pants are unyielding when it comes to playing punk-metal pop designed to raise the dead—so snuggle up close to your neighbor and commence thrashing. WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY

MUSIC—Lisa Schonberg’s talents are many, and drums are perhaps foremost among them. So when she gathers her Secret Drum Band, it’s time to listen, particularly when special guests like AU’s Dana Valatka are joining her. Let’s make some loud, secret noises, shall we? MARJORIE SKINNER
