Camino Campestre.
Tomorrow
- Krazy Native, Seth Mul, the Lab Munkz – I would imagine anyone would have to be crazy to be a native of this town, but this one is so loopy that he spells his name with a “”K.”” That’s insanity! 11 p.m. $5. Vaudeville Cabaret, 110 E. Congress St. (21+)
Saturday
- Kool Shades CD Release Party – You have to wonder: Just how kool are his shades? Apparently so cool that they manage to transcend grammar. 6:30 p.m. $5. Club Congress, 311 E. Congress St.
Sunday
- Race Against Space, Saint Rorschack and A Particularly Vicious Rumor – I don’t know about the other guys, but A Particularly Vicious Rumor sounds like they could be pretty damaging to your typical high school cheerleader. Kind of like the herpes rumor I started about that skank Lysandra freshman year. That’s right, that was all me. 9:30 p.m. $5. Vaudeville Cabaret, 110 E. Congress St.
