MUSIC—We don’t put a lot of hardcore bands on this page, and we detest bleeding from the face. We’ll put aside all that to recommend reunited screamy supergroup Head Wound City, featuring members of the Locust, Blood Brothers, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The band recently re-released their lone EP and are causing contusions all around this great nation. DIRK VANDERHART

MUSIC—For a full year, the folks at Thirsty City have been slinging nutzoid beats, off-kilter hip-hop, and body-movin’ electronic sounds that get all up in ya. Tonight the monthly night celebrates year number uno with special guest Durazzo, and sets from usual suspects like Montgomery Word and host Northern Draw. NED LANNAMANN
