RA Scion, Hi-Life Soundsystem, Gabriel Teodros, Abyssinian Creole, Dice, Grynch

(Vera) Hiphop is for the kids, too. This all-ages bill features RA Scion, who is back with a new project titled Beg, Borrow, Steal. The extremely relevant EP/film is a tribute to Anonymous, full of state-of-affairs lyrical content and the same outrage at the system that's behind the hacker collective's attacks on corrupt institutions. The under-21 crowd needs to be hearing this kind of stuff right now. Also performing are Hi-Life Soundsystem, whose recent release Langston Hugh Hefner is "not so much poetry in motion as smoking to the soundtrack of a martial-arts movie about lovemaking," and Gabriel Teodros, who will perform a solo set featuring material from his recent Colored People's Time Machine album, as well as an Abyssinian Creole set with Hi-Lifer Khingz.

The Darkness, Foxy Shazam, Crown Jewel Defense

(Neptune) Suffolk's the Darkness burst into the cultural consciousness in 2003 with "I Believe in a Thing Called Love," an explosively exciting, ingeniously shameless glam-rock track paired with a video that should've won lead singer Justin Hawkins the Mark Twain Award for his comedic performance. Instead, it powered the Darkness around the world in support of their debut record, Permission to Land, and gave 'em enough success to be able to fuck things up with coke. After a five-year hiatus and successful rehabbing, the Darkness are back. Expect ridiculous glam mayhem wrapped around hooky-as-fuck rock songs ("Friday Night"!). Cincinnati glam rockers Foxy Shazam open the show. DAVID SCHMADER

Earth, Low Hums, Cold Lake

(Highline) Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II perhaps unsurprisingly sounds much like 2010's Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I. For the uninitiated, Earth's Dylan Carlson (the band's only lasting member) set a precedent in 1993 when he recorded three metal drone instrumentals totaling 72 minutes, much of it single riffs repeated at a sludgy pace and without drums. He called it Earth 2: Special Low-Frequency Version. Since then, Carlson has given this approach more to minimal blues constructions than metal, a move that alienated some fans of his sprawling sonic experimentation. Need a soundtrack to driving around the back roads of Whidbey Island in the fog? Look no further. GRANT BRISSEY

White Orange, Reignwolf, Hobosexual

(Sunset) If you need to listen to something that will shift your brain into ass-kicking gear, give White Orange's latest self-titled album a spin. It starts off with "Where," a grungy rock song with a driving riff that penetrates through a storm of drums, bass, and distortion. The fuzzy "Middle of the Riddle" confidently marches along the line between psych-rock and metal. Each song will make you want to get up and fight the good fight—or maybe sit back and get stoned while you let it blow your mind; it depends on what kind of mood you're in. Hobosexual are the perfect local band to open this show—their blasts of fun garage rock will warm up your ears in preparation for White Orange's sonic attack. MEGAN SELING

Seattle Opera: Orpheus and Eurydice

(McCaw Hall) The story is one of the greatest and most complex, even though it looks simple. Could faith have saved Eurydice and Orpheus? If she hadn't needed him to look back, if he hadn't needed to see her, to reassure both of them? This 18th-century French opera version of the story, by Christoph Willibald Gluck, includes dancing, singing, and tragedy. JEN GRAVES
