ARTS Pick: Wild Rose

Girl Choir is distortion driven. The Chuggernauts opt for a punk-rock pirate vibe. And while The Unholy Four strives for old-school hard rock, Wild Rose keeps it modern as a quartet. Expect a blend of grit and tenderness when punk rock meets punk ‘n’ roll during an evening with these four local bands.

Friday, January 18. $7-10, 8pm. IX Art Park, 522 Second St. SE. 207-2335.

ARTS Pick: May the Fourth Be With You

Since it exploded into theaters in 1977, Star Wars has left a crater-like impact on pop culture. And since 2011, May 4 has been the unofficial day that superfans dust off their lightsabers, pull on their stormtrooper helmets and celebrate the popular franchise. At May the Fourth Be With You: A Celebration of the Music of Sci-Fi, local bands The Vailix, Iku, Book of Wyrms, Dark Matter, The Chuggernauts, DJ Wülf Boi, Personal Bandana and others memorialize their heroes from another galaxy and perform everything from hip-hop beats to saxophone solos.

Thursday, May 4 $5-8, 8:30pm. The Ante Room, 219 W. Water St. 284-8561.
