FRIDAY, MARCH 13
MUSIC—A few weeks ago, AC/DC announced what’s probably their last-ever tour—and we got fucked, with the closest show to Portland being in Vancouver, BC. Tonight, find solace in this cruel injustice by pounding a few beers and catching Hell’s Belles, the all-woman AC/DC cover band. Not only have they been breaking balls since 2000—they’ve also got Angus Young’s stamp of approval. ERIK HENRIKSEN
w/Bitch School, Trigger Itch; Dante’s, 350 W Burnside, 9 pm, $15
MUSIC—One should never pass up the chance to see the Dodos, especially since they’ll be playing songs from their great new album, Individ, a bright, spontaneous affair that makes the most of guitarist Meric Long and drummer Logan Kroeber’s taut, psychic interplay. But when you sweeten the pot with the lovely thrift-shop pop of Springtime Carnivore? Yeah, you can’t stay home. NED LANNAMANN
Doug Fir, 830 E Burnside, 9 pm, $15
SATURDAY, MARCH 14
TALK SHOW—The lineup for this month’s Late Night Action is killer! Portland’s favorite live talk show features Congressman Earl Blumenauer, radio host Daria, party-band Chervona, and hilarious stand-up Gabe Dinger. Cherries on top include hosts Alex Falcone and Bri Pruett—Mercury BFFs and consummate professionals. Prepare to be tickled pink. COURTNEY FERGUSON
Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi, 7 pm, $10-15
MUSIC—Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy performs tonight with his drummer son, who, at 19, appears to be Jeff Tweedy in miniature, but is actually named Spencer. And get this, Tweedy & Son named their first album after Tweedy’s wife. If you just died from the indie folk cuteness of it all, don’t even think about staying in. MEGAN BURBANK
w/the Minus 5; Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside, 9 pm, scalper’s choice, all ages
SUNDAY, MARCH 15
WRESTLING—It’s good that people have stopped fronting like they’re above professional wrestling. There’s nothing in any superhero blockbuster that you can’t find in tonight’s WWE Live Road to Wrestlemania: all the melodrama, the posing, the one-liners, the naked pandering to your baser instincts… and it’s all happening live. No CGI. No stuntmen. This shit is real. BOBBY ROBERTS
Moda Center, 1 Center Court, 3 pm, $20-100, all ages
TIMBERS—Opening day is in the past. Now it’s about putting in that work for the Portland Timbers. It’d be a nice sign that the soccer squad is serious this year if the LA Galaxy feel the full force of that determination on the Providence pitch. And really—any opportunity to stick a foot in LA’s ass is an opportunity to seize. BOBBY ROBERTS
Providence Park, 1844 SW Morrison, 4 pm, $34 & up, all ages
