Phoebe Robinson
Phoebe Robinson has become an increasingly popular voice in comedy. Perhaps you’ve heard of one of her hilarious podcasts (2 Dope Queens and Sooo Many White Guys), or enjoyed one of her stand-up sets on that recent “Yaaas Queen Yaaas” tour with Ilana Glazer, or read her first memoir You Can’t Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain. Now she’s touring in support of her new book Everything Is Trash, but It’s Okay. Sadly, her set at Live Wire is sold out, but you can still catch her at Powell’s, the only free and open-to-the-public stop on the whole damn book tour. (7:30 pm, Powell's City of Books, free) JENNI MOORE


Saintseneca, Trace Mountains
Saintseneca’s songs crackle and buzz with an energy that would benefit many similar indie folk-rock bands. The Columbus, Ohio, group—helmed by singer/songwriter Zac Little—has felt like it’s been on the verge of bigger things for a while now, thanks to 2014’s Dark Arc and 2015’s Such Things. But the band’s new album, Pillar of Na, may be their best yet. It’s warm, strummy, restless, and relentlessly catchy, with one foot planted in the world of elegant pop-rock and the other rooted in punk ethos. It’s well worth a listen, if for no other reason than Little’s stated goal: “I told [producer] Mike Mogis I wanted Violent Femmes meets the new Blade Runner soundtrack,” he explains in the band’s bio. “I’m looking for the intersection between Kendrick Lamar and the Fairport Convention.” Was he successful? That’s for your ears to decide. (9 pm, Doug Fir, $12-14) BEN SALMON

The Shining
It says something about Stanley Kubrick’s skill as a director that, of all the perfectly framed, perfectly lit, perfectly staged scenes and shots in The Shining, moments that embed themselves like patient little tumors in the soft spots of your brain, maybe the most profoundly fucking creepy thing in the whole film isn’t two twins holding hands, or an elevator filled with blood, or a man in a bear suit caught mid-fellatio, or a woman transforming instantly in a single edit from siren to pile of sloughed-off skin. No, it’s a little boy riding a Big Wheel around the perimeter of a carpeted dining room. That’s it. A boy, his bike, and the unsettling rhythm of his plastic wheels thumping up onto the carpet, and smacking back down on the hardwood. (6:30 pm, 9:30 pm, Academy Theater, $3-4) BOBBY ROBERTS

The Weather Station, Jennifer Castle
The Weather Station is the working name of Canadian songstress Tamara Lindeman, whose work has conjured up comparisons to musicians like Joni Mitchell and Bill Callahan, just as much for her vocal timbre and gentle finger-picked melodies as for her penetrating lyrics. It'd be easy to assume from their meandering, breezy instrumentation that her songs would be filled with simplistic lyrics, but within Lindeman's wispy delivery are striking depictions of landscape and relationships that read like stand-alone poems or essays.

Pan's Labyrinth
Pan's Labyrinth is Guillermo del Toro's masterpiece. Set in post-civil war Spain, Labyrinth follows a young girl, Ofelia (Ivana Baquero); as post-war fascism dominates her life, she discovers an ancient forest presided over by a faun who's at once welcoming and sinister (Doug Jones). Descending into a world of myth, danger, and horror, Ofelia's story becomes twofold--roughly half of Labyrinth deals with historical drama, while the other explores the fantastic and symbolic. Labyrinth is breathtaking: Rich performances, stunning visuals, and an assured, original tone demonstrate how dear the material is to del Toro. (7 pm, Fifth Avenue Cinema) ERIK HENRIKSEN
