Brown Calculus, Bryson Cone, Jean Nada
Cosmic soul duo Brown Calculus is one of Portlandâs most captivating acts. âSelf-Care,â the lead single off their Live at the Map Room EP is fantastic, and their shows are known for providing intimate, improvisational vibes, and guaranteeing a cathartic night out. Falling on Juneteenth, this wonderfully air-conditioned show will also celebrate both band membersâ June birthdays. JENNI MOORE

Reptaliens, Okey Dokey, Shy Boys, Minden
Inspired by the transhumanist philosopher of the same name, Cole and Bambi Browningâs psychedelic 2017 debut as Reptaliens, FM-2030, is an album of disarmingly pleasant sunbeam-pop melodies that disguise the darker themes lurking underneath its caramelly guitar riffs and shimmering synth. Even the recordâs bubbliest moments feel a little offâlove songs like â29 Palmsâ verge on obsession, while standout track â666Busâ finds Bambi contemplating the potential that âMaybe Iâll get hit by a bus/While I was dreaming of falling in love/Or maybe Iâll fall in love and die of a broken heart.â FM-2030 feels like a purgatory between woozy daydream and nightmare, with constant references to Satan, mortality, and apocalyptic sci-fi, but thatâs what elevates its songs to creepy pop perfection.

Portland Pickles vs. Gresham GreyWolves
Our once-great nation can be a tricky place to be these days, mostly because itâs basically a pile of vomit thatâs been set on fire. HOWEVER! All Americans can agree our nation has created two perfect things: baseball and Jurassic Park. This week, these dual apexes merge with Portlandâs beloved collegiate baseball team, the Portland Pickles, facing off against the Gresham GreyWolves⊠on a night the Pickles promise will also celebrate â25 years of Jurassic Park.â WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?? Youâll have to turn up to find out, but Iâm guessing thereâll be a blaring Jurassic Park theme, some people in those inflatable T-Rex costumes, and maybe a swarm of real-life genetically resurrected pterodactyls that will swoop in and brutally massacre everyone.

Back to the Future Part II
Once upon the 1980s, a young Republican in a life-vest, with the help of his science friend, traveled back in time, where he had to prevent his motherâs sexual advances and instead steer her towards Crispin Gloverâs dick. He succeeded, but accidentally transformed the future into Planet Las Vegas, which sounds cool, but was actually kinda shitty. Even shittier? When this movie was written, the dystopian future on display was considered a satirical, way over-the-top farce featuring a disgusting, burnt-out America embodied by a caricature of Donald Trump that went too easy on the man by at least half. Back to the Future Part II was always the most mean-spirited film in the trilogy, sometimes aiming for fun but landing in teeth-on-tinfoil territory. Watching it in 2018? If it wasnât for the whole time-travel thing, you would swear this shit was a documentary. BOBBY ROBERTS
9:45 pm, Academy Theater, $3-4
