From Stranger Suggests:

Lick
(Lesbian Dance Party) Cream-of-the-crop lesbians go to Lick. The Wildrose, the one lesbian bar in town, never provides much in the way of true punk-rock dancertainment. Thank goodness the Lick ladies take over Chop Suey once a month and have a huge sweaty party, because if they didn’t, what would there be in Seattle for them? With DJs Freakazoid, Amateur Youth, Mathmatix, and Dewey Decimal. (Chop Suey, 1325 E Madison St, 324-8000. 9 pm, $3 until 10 pm, $5 after, 21+.) ARI SPOOL

FCS NORTH, HIDDEN HABITATS
(Baltic Room) FCS North’s recent album of brilliant electro/disco hybrids, Say Go, got totally slept on probably due to the banal difficulties of running a genuinely independent label in the 21st century. (Full disclosure: Said label hosted my fairly embarrassing first stab at a DJ mix a while ago, but no one made any money or anything.) Their live show aims for the dance floor—they’re talented musicians, and plenty entertaining to watch, but they’d probably prefer enthused movement over passive appreciation any day. Hidden Habitats are a five-headed Hydra of Fourthcity DJs consisting of DJs Kamui, Bumblebee, Hideki, Introcut, and Absolute Madman. They’re moving Stop Biting to Thursdays at the Baltic Room after a long, well-loved run at the Lo_Fi, and their thoughtful brand of boom bap should keep the place plenty warm and hopping.

THE JONBENÉT, BEHOLD THE ROLLING THUNDER, THE AMERICAN BLACK LUNG, BLUES
(Ground Zero) Thanks to a sweet distribution deal with East West, the Dallas, Texas, indie Pluto Records was able to dangle the Jonbenét before more listeners than was probably necessary last year. Luckily, once they got there, the four-year-old Houston quartet blew away those listeners via a debut album, Ugly/Heartless, that not only captured the band’s in-concert ferocity, but duplicated it. The Jonbenét cut Ugly/Heartless live, loud, and loose in a Houston bar/recording studio, demonstrating their chops by nailing half of the songs on the first take; even though they reveal slightly more melody than was heard on their previous EPs (all of which are collected on 2005’s The Plot Thickens), the band’s trademark spastic, angular wall of posthardcore noise ensures that things never get too melodious. This month’s Dead in Threes tour finds the Jonbenét steamrolling across America with kindred spirits the American Black Lung and Blues in tow. AARON BURGESS
