Lorde, Run the Jewels, Tove Stryke
When I think of music’s greatest friendships—Hall and Oates, Simon and Garfunkel, motherfuckin’ Captain and Tennille—Lorde, El-P, and Killer Mike aren’t the first group of BFFs who come to mind. AND YET, here they are, on tour together, with the clever, thundering hip-hop of RTJ—AKA El-P and Killer Mike—setting the stage for Lorde, the New Zealand singer/songwriter whose haunting, gorgeous albums Pure Heroine and Melodrama are pretty much perfect. It’s gonna be a weird, fun night. ERIK HENRIKSEN

Frankenstein’s Comic Book Swap
With admission only a buck, it’s hard to justify not swinging by Frankenstein’s Comic Book Swap—which returns this weekend to take over the Eagles Lodge with table after table and crate after crate of classic comics, weird old magazines, battered VHS tapes, dog-eared paperbacks, creepy toys, and all sorts of half-forgotten pop-culture ephemera. Chances are good you’ll find something you had no idea existed, and chances are also good you’ll end up taking it home. ERIK HENRIKSEN
11 am, Eagles Lodge, $1-5, all ages

Sinbad
A full weekend of stand-up with the veteran comedian and actor who got his start on Star Search before becoming a household name for his starring roles in Houseguest, First Kid, and Jingle All the Way. (But not Shazam. Because that’s not a movie. So he was never in it. There’s a whole story about it. Your memory likes to fuck with you. He’ll probably talk about it in the show.)
7:30 pm, 10 pm, Helium Comedy Club, $35

Colin Jenkins, Ryan Oxford
Some might know Colin Jenkins through his piano skills and harmonic hand in the Portland pop brigade Ages and Ages. A few less might know Jenkins through his solo material, which amounts to just a few sparse demos and covers uploaded online. That’s about to change with his newest record, RE: FWD: FWD, which diverges from that old simplicity and dives headfirst into bright ’80s retro-pop territory. From the campier “Get My Weed from You” to standout “Closer2You,” Jenkins has built a collection of songs with kaleidoscopic synth juxtaposed by tight percussive beds, creating a world that feels palpably neon. The real thrill comes from Jenkins’ vocal performance, often flanked by soft harmonies and guest vocalists. At times, his velvety pop timbre even evokes tamer moments of old Prince lines. Tonight’s record release show will kick off with the dreamy psych-folk offerings of fellow local Ryan Oxford.

Portland Oregon Women’s Film Festival
During last Sunday’s Academy Awards, Frances McDormand called on Hollywood to financially support women. While the organizers of the annual Portland Oregon Women’s Film Festival (POW Film Festival) couldn’t possibly have predicted the timeliness of their event, it’s timely as hell: The fest showcases films directed by women. That, in and of itself, is reason to hand them your dollars. But also: There’s some good stuff here! Saturday (in conjunction with the Hollywood Theatre’s Feminist March film series) features two documentaries by Barbara Kopple: 1976’s Harlan County U.S.A., an unforgettable documentary about a coal miners’ strike in Kentucky; and striking a totally different tone, 2015’s Miss Sharon Jones!, about the beloved soul singer’s bout with cancer.

Donavon Frankenreiter, John Craigie
Billabong-sponsored surfer and Jack Johnson protégé (shudder) Donavon Frankenreiter headlines tonight’s show, but his opening act is the name worth remembering. John Craigie is the California-born, Portland-based singer/songwriter whose Americana ballads and aw-shucks humor instantly won over the crowd at Pickathon’s 2018 kickoff party (he’ll play the festival this summer). Last year Craigie released a new LP called No Rain, No Rose, which delivers more of the Mitch Hedberg-meets-Bob Dylan folksongs he’s been honing over the past decade, especially his ode to astronaut Michael Collins and cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Tumbling Dice.” But the best introduction to Craigie is still probably “I Wrote Mr. Tambourine Man” (from 2013’s The Apocalypse Is Over); at the Pickathon party he said he’d written the song after meeting a man in a New Orleans bar who claimed to have been ripped off by Dylan.

Portland Timbers vs. New York Red Bulls
While the Timbers’ faithful eagerly await next month’s home opener against Minnesota United FC, you’ll want to tune in to the season before then, as Portland’s 2018 campaign-opening road trip might prove to be one of the most intriguing stretches in club history. This afternoon’s matchup against the New York Red Bulls pits newly minted Timbers’ head coach Giovanni Savarese against a foe he’s more than familiar with. Drafted in the ninth round of the MLS Inaugural Player Draft, Savarese became one of the league’s first breakout stars while playing for New York in the late ’90s, and would return to the organization a decade later to head up youth development. With a large mix of talented new arrivals and familiar faces eager to cement their place in the Timbers’ starting 11, Savarese will have no shortage of cards up his sleeve when he returns to face-off against the club he famously helped establish over two decades ago.
