The Descendents
An all-ages affair with the hugely influential pop-punk band out of Manhattan Beach, California, spearheaded by singer Milo Aukerman, guitarist Stephen Egerton, bassist Karl Alvarez, and drummer Bill Stevenson. (8 pm, Crystal Ballroom, $29.95-35)


Screaming Females, Kitten Forever, Piss Test
The first few seconds of Screaming Females’ absolutely killer new album All at Once announce the New Jersey punk band’s return with short, controlled bursts of noise from a roaring electric guitar and crashing drums. That chaotic but restrained energy courses through the whole 15-track record, from Marissa Paternoster’s guttural vibrato on “I’ll Make You Sorry” to the blistering opening guitar riff on the ode to abstract painter “Agnes Martin” to the double drum attack (featuring Brendan Canty of Fugazi) on the anthemic standout “Soft Domination.” (9:30 pm, Mississippi Studios, $15) CIARA DOLAN

Robyn Hitchcock & The Nashville Fabs, Davey Lane
Whether he's with the Egyptians, the Venus 3, or his seminal group the Soft Boys, Robyn Hitchcock has always been one of our finest songwriters. (8 pm, Aladdin Theater, $25, all ages) NED LANNAMANN

Ty Segall, White Fence, The Lavender Flu
Rock ’n’ roll titan Ty Segall joins White Fence to play songs from their new collaborative album Joy. Though it seems like the prolific Segall should’ve already mapped every shadowy corner of the psychedelic garage he’s the unofficial king of, his work with White Fence frontman Tim Presley proves there’s plenty left to explore. The record plays like the extended jam session of two geniuses bouncing energy off each other, but there are distinct twists and turns: the strangely satisfying 30-second drum breakdown in “Beginning,” the bleary harmonies of “Body Behavior,” and the startlingly simple beauty of closing track “My Friend.” Segall will return to Portland later this month to play an acoustic show at the Aladdin Theater all on his lonesome.

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
A rare opportunity to catch the debut of Dario Argento on the big screen, with 1970's The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, directed by an Argento who was still pretty beholden to Hitchcock and hadn't quite turned himself over to the full-blast vividity of his later rancid madnesses. Many consider this film the birth of Italy's "giallo" movement, and also the proof-of-concept for Brian De Palma's entire career. I can't tell if I'm criticizing or damning this movie right now. (9:30 pm, NW Film Center's Whitsell Auditorium) BOBBY ROBERTS

The Prids, Sick Wish
The Prids might be one of Portland’s longest-running bands, having overcome a number of setbacks throughout their two-decade tenure that would’ve had lesser groups calling it a day. That tenacity carries into the band’s music, as they continue to defy trends in a city and music scene that continues to change. The Prids occupy a corner of music where heartbreak and sadness exist under the hue of sunlight breaking through gray clouds. (8:30 pm, The Lovecraft, $5) MARK LORE

Club Kai Kai
The latest installment of Holocene's pop-up club series welcomes VH1's Flavor of Love and I Love New York star Tiffany "New York" Pollard (AKA HBIC [Head Bitch In Charge]). Diva Dott, Shitney Houston, Phallus Johnson, Debris, and Shelby Lynn round out the evening's performances, with DJs Princess Dimebag and Chanti Darling on-hand to keep you moving all night long. (9 pm, Holocene, $12-15)

The Crystal Method
Las Vegas-hailing producer and DJ Scott Kirkland brings his pioneering big beat act back through Portland to take control of the dance floor at 45 East (10 pm, 45 East, $15)

Postwar Radio, Owl Antique
Postwar Radio features scene veterans forming like Voltron and incorporating myriad genres into one bouncy-yet-contemplative indie-rock groove. Owl Antique is Trent Price pursuing his psych-funk muse with the help of Jonas G. (9:30 pm, O'Neill Public House, free)

Tango Alpha Tango, The Stone Foxes
Nathan Trueb's knack for capturing the grit of dirty desert blues is infectious and fun, full of clichéd rock 'n' roll lyrics about getting high and lusting after women, and comes teeming with an arsenal of back-porch riffs and driving rhythms. (9 pm, Star Theater, $15)
