MUSIC—KPSU’s month of shows keeps trucking along, and tonight they’re teaming up with the Mercury to bring you a dazzler of an evening: Portland’s Modern Kin make fully amplified folk-rock with blood and grit under their fingernails, Seattle’s Tangerine play lovely, sparkle-fresh pop, and Rilla’s a new band on the local scene featuring members of the Vandies.

MUSIC—Though his laidback jams (sleepy beats, mildly Dylan-esque delivery) are aptly known for their slacker tone, anyone who witnessed Mac DeMarco crush at last year’s Pickathon festival knows how surprisingly rousing his live shows can be. Tonight you oughta leave your “soft pants” at home. MARJORIE SKINNER
