February only has one extra day this year, so why did it feel about two years long? Well, mostly because we live in a casually dystopian hellscape, but also because every weekend has been packed amazingly full of awesome things to do (it really helps distract from that dystopian hellscape bit) and the last weekend of February is no exception, with tons of great music, comedy, and art to take in. Hit the links below and plan February’s last hurrah accordingly.

Kassa Overall
Some of the most exciting music released last year came out in early 2019, carrying with it not only one of the best album titles I’ve heard in ages—Go Get Ice Cream and Listen To Jazz—but also a perfectly conceived hybrid sound that producer/drummer/MC Kassa Overall cooked up with equal parts jazz, R&B, hip-hop, broken beat electronic pop, and experimentalism. How this New York-based artist plans on recreating this melty, sugar sweet musical amalgam live is anyone’s guess, but I’ll be there regardless. (Fri Feb 28, 8 pm, Jack London Revue, $25) ROBERT HAM
