MUSIC—There are two reasons tonight’s show at the Crystal is hella sold out; they are the same two reasons you should find tickets, post haste. (1) Spoon has a new album out, They Want My Soul, and it’s white hot. (2) Future Islands are fun as fuck to watch live. I hope you find tickets to this show. COURTNEY FERGUSON

COMEDY/BIKES—Kickstand Comedy Space, Portland’s only combination bike shop basement/comedy club, springs into action tonight with a new weekly show, Earthquake Hurricane, hosted by Bri Pruett, Curtis Cook,
Anthony Lopez, and Alex Falcone, with guests Sean Jordan, Nathan Brannon, Whitney Streed, and Sean Connery. As if that lineup weren’t enough, there’s this: wine, craft beer, and fancy coffee! MEGAN BURBANK
