Today

• George Thorogood and Buddy Guy – True story: George Thorogood created and played on a semi-pro baseball team in Delaware as a second baseman during the late 1970s. Also, he had a cape and a sidekick named Thoro-boy, although the latter has been disputed by “”facts.”” 6:30 p.m. $20 to $65. Casino Del Sol’s AVA, 5655 W. Valencia Road
  
• “”Beam Me Up – Adventures in Outer Space”” – This art exhibition is more fun than a James Traficant speech and less corrupted, too. 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Free. Gallery Centella, 340 S. Convent St.

Tomorrow

• Bridging the Gap V – A hip-hop concert featuring Ill Styles and other Phoenix/Tucson artists. 9 p.m. $5. Vaudeville Cabaret, 110 E. Congress St.

Saturday

• Mini-Psychic Fair – I met a psychic once. She told me I was about to encounter a terrible loss. Then she knifed me in the stomach and took my wallet. Joke’s on her though, I found a quarter on the way to the emergency room! 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. $15. Church of Mankind, 1231 S. Van Buren Ave.
  
• The Red Elvises – The actual plural of Elvis, according to Wikipedia, would be Elvii. Proper grammar would suggest otherwise, however, it’s a filthy liar. Also, this show is rockabilly, which is a cross between an electric guitar and a billy goat. Science is amazing these days! 9:45 p.m. $8. Plush, 340 E. Sixth St.

Sunday

• Funeral Pyre, Murder Victim, Antagonist – And all other things synonymous with love and rainbows. It’s an all-ages, indie rock show, so make sure to bring the children! 7 p.m. $5. Living Room, 413 E. Fifth St

Monday

• M. Ward – Little-known fact: The “”M”” stands for magical. Some people say it’s actually Matt, but they’re probably the same people who don’t let you collect cash for landing on Free Parking. Kill-joys. 8 p.m. $14 in advance, $16 day of show. Rialto Theatre, 318 E. Congress St. 21+

Tuesday

• Alice in Chains – The name Alice in Chains was a play off the late Layne Staley’s original band Alice N’ Chainz, in which the band members would “”dress in drag and play speed metal.”” I have news for you: That wasn’t drag, the band members are really men! 8:30 p.m. $40. Rialto Theatre, 318 E. Congress St.

Wednesday

• Carnage, Toki Wright, the Visionary, Kongeror, James Ciphurface, Jivin’ Scientists – It’s a punk show. I don’t know a lot about punk, except that this old man used to yell it at me for riding my bike on his lawn. If that’s what punk is, then I really hope these guys don’t ride all over mine, I just mowed it yesterday. 9 p.m. $5. Vaudeville Cabaret, 110 E. Congress St.
