MUSIC—Washington, DC’s Dead Meadow want to slip you something psychedelic. They’re pushers of the highest order of trippy stoner anthems, mixing the best of Sabbath, mind-melting spacescapes, and guitar-driven freedom rock. They’re touring their newest album, Warble Womb, so wobble on down to tune in and drop out. CF

EAR CANDY—Once again, the Mercury and Mississippi Studios bring you—for free—the best music Portland has to offer… meaning it’s very, very good. Tonight?
