FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23
MUSIC—Talk about giving something a college try: PSU’s Portland State of Mind music festival has an impressive lineup, starting with acoustic performances by David Bazan, Luz Elena Mendoza, and Ezza Rose, moving on to a rowdier venue and louder acts headlined by THEESatisfaction and Beat Connection. A+, kids. MARJORIE SKINNER
Smith Memorial Student Union, 1825 SW Broadway, 4 pm ($10), 8 pm ($15), $25 for both shows, all ages
DANCE PARTY—If you are a shameless fan of Fleetwood Mac, you probably know you aren’t alone, but Fleetmac Wood’s White Winged Love Disco takes the allegiance a magical step forward. This is an event where they play only Fleetwood Mac (no covers!), and they play it loud. Wear white. Go find your people. MARJORIE SKINNER
Holocene, 1001 SE Morrison, 9 pm, $8-10
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24
MUSIC—Hot take: If you’re gonna take in arena rock, do it at the city’s most delightfully outmoded arena, and go see a performer more likely to give you a quiet account of her day between songs than force some sort of ridiculous antics. Florence and the Machine are in town again. Probably barefoot. DIRK VANDERHART
Memorial Coliseum, 300 N Winning Way, 8 pm, $30.50-66, all ages
FILM—Hecklevision usually allows you to channel your inner Statler and/or Waldorf, but you’ll have to turn your nastiness dials to Rick James levels to contend with the coke-fueled cinematic atrocities on display in Maximum Overdrive, directed by Stephen King himself! BOBBY ROBERTS
Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy, 7 pm, $8
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25
COMEDY—Control Yourself is stand-up JoAnn Schinderle’s weekend-ending comedy showcase at the Alberta Pub. It’s free, it’s funny, and it’s too good to pass up, especially with tonight’s headliner Sara Schaefer. The smart and witty comedian tore it up at last year’s All Jane Comedy Fest, and now she’s back to kill us all over again. COURTNEY FERGUSON
w/Lydia Popovich, Michael D’Bey; Alberta Street Pub, 1036 NE Alberta, 10 pm, FREE
MUSIC—Now that everyone’s finally come around to the fact video-games are absolutely art, people are understanding that the music from those games is just as magnificent as anything John Williams or Bernard Herrmann ever wrote. If The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses is good enough for Colbert’s Late Show, it’s good enough for you. BOBBY ROBERTS
Keller Auditorium, 222 SW Clay, 7:30 pm, $44.25-93.25, all ages
