Bass & Flow II: Gangsigns, Karma Rivera, Rasheed Jamal, Chris Bower, Bottle Kidz
After headlining GirlFest in January, Karma Rivera’s kept her head down, seemingly readying herself for a busy summer of shows. Tonight Rivera unleashes what she’s been working on: switching up her live set and being newly backed by a band, The Heavy Hustle. It’ll be cool to see how that affects her super-chill releases like “Easy,” and “Everything I Love.” In addition to checking out Rivera’s more fleshed-out sound, this is a chance to see and hear the most underrated rapper in town, Rasheed Jamal.

This is Your Theater: Mulholland Drive
Time to revisit David Lynch’s 2001 film, yeah? Lynch’s films get richer and more nuanced the more times they’re viewed. (Face it, you didn’t like whiskey the first time you tried it, either—and now look at you.) COURTNEY FERGUSON

Beach Party, Bod, Sweeping Exits, Mala Fides
Three months into his presidency, you’re probably still sitting dumbfounded in your bedroom, compulsively Googling “How long has Trump been in office?” Music will help, trust me: Try the second edition of the benefit show series “Not Without a Fight,” which hits the Know this weekend to raise money for local organizations Outside In, a crucial nonprofit serving homeless youths, and Portland People’s Outreach Project, a charity providing clean injection and overdose prevention supplies to the Portland area. The grungy, experimental weirdoes of Seattle’s Bod return to town just after releasing their new EP, True Cinnamon. The excellent title track’s angular opening riff softens as the four-piece molds the tempo to fit their bizarrely catchy purposes. Local glam-punk heartthrobs Sweeping Exits will also grace the new Know stage with densely packed and theatrically realized tales of queer empowerment. NATHAN TUCKER
