MUSIC—It’s been many moons since Dead Meadow brought their gnarled, spooky stoner rock to Portland, so pack your finest pipeweed and get thee to the Doug Fir dungeon, where trancelike tendrils of heavy-lidded rock ‘n’ roll will wend their way into your eardrums. NED LANNAMANN
w/Daydream Machine; Doug Fir, 830 E Burnside, 9 pm, $13-15
BIKES—To quote Tupac: “Break out the champagne glasses and the motherfucking condoms.” Pedalpalooza’s upon us again, everyone! More than three weeks of bikey brashness begin tonight with the annual Kickoff Ride. Inflate those tires, smear unguent on those calves, and be safe out there. DIRK VANDERHART
