STRFKR
STRFKR: It stands for Starfucker. At one time, the name gave Josh Hodges and Co. a little trouble. They changed it up, but in the end they always returned to their Starfucker source. Touring to celebrate the 10-year-anniversary of their first release, the self-titled album Starfucker, STRFKR wants nothing more than to play their dancey idiosyncratic pop-synth songs as many times as weâll still them. Iâve got nothing but love for this crew. (Sun 5 pm & 9 pm, Mon 9 pm, Doug Fir, $27.50-30) SUZETTE SMITH

Rock 'n' Roll High School
Roger Corman, notorious schlock-schlepper, wanted to go back to his teen movie roots at the tail end of the 1970s. First he was gonna make Disco High, but the genre was already dead. Then he tried to lock down Cheap Trick and Todd Rundgren, butâamazinglyâthey decided against getting underpaid by Roger Corman for two weeks of making disposable cash-in cinematic garbage. You know who didn't say no? The Ramones! And with the help of Clint Howard, P.J. Soles (Who will be in attendance to answer questions about her experiences on the film) and one motherfucker of an explosion (which was probably half of the film's $200,000 budget), Rock 'n' Roll High School was born. Revel in its idiocy. (6 pm, Hollywood Theatre) BOBBY ROBERTS
Big John Bates Noirchestra, Stoned Evergreen Travelers
With their new LP Psychedelic Bloodbath, Seattle band Stoned Evergreen Travelers present something wholly unclassifiable. Stand-up bass and fiddle give the album the swagger and bounce of a drunken cowboyâitâs dirty, confident, unpredictable, and potentially dangerous. At times it sounds like stripped-down Americana or rockabilly, but the gruff vocals and crunchy guitar licks add an unexpected edge. The fiddle present on every track sounds like it should be coming from the middle of a circle of covered wagons, but it slithers and drips with enough reverb to be completely spooky. Stoned Evergreen Travelers are like everything and nothing youâve ever heard before. (7:45 pm, Dante's, $10) ARIS HUNTER WALES
