MUSIC—French the insides of your ears with the electromagic pop of Yelle. The French disco-dance diviners, fronted by their charismatic namesake (AKA Julie Budet), combines irresistible tunes with a pop art sensibility, and the result tickles your brain as it simultaneously compels the rest of your body to get out on the floor and work it.

NERD VARIETY—#NerdNightOut, “a variety show for the geeky-leaning set,” kicks things up a notch tonight at the Doug Fir, featuring not only Portland’s charming sister duo the Doubleclicks, but also the crazy smart, crazy fun comics writer Kelly Sue DeConnick (Bitch Planet) and comedian Joseph Scrimshaw. There’ll be something for everybody, whether they call themselves a nerd or not. ERIK HENRIKSEN
