MUSIC—Living Colour live on in our hearts—some 20 years after their moment passed—not so much because of their music, but because of who they are and what they represent. That’s a shame. Yes, they were famously an all-black rock band at a time when that especially meant something. But you know what else? They could rock out—and rock some neon bike shorts—as hard and beautifully as anyone else. DENIS C. THERIAULT

FILM—How do you feel about the following cinematic elements? Karate babes, dirtbag flesh-eating monks, macho lunkheads, Hitler lookalikes, boozy yacht parties, zombies, piranhas, and rocket launchers! Depending on your answer, the Grindhouse Film Fest’s screening of 1982’s Raw Force is going to please/horrify you in wack-a-doodle spades. COURTNEY FERGUSON
Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy, 7:30 pm, $8
Vernon Reid still rocks… sorry to miss the show.
