Music

Kolezanka. Don't let the drum machine chump you—everyone in Kolezanka (Polish for friend) has soul. In fact, this dreamy postmodern pop trio from Phoenix has the unearthly quality of Vespertine-era Bjork and the tight-fist chemistry of Yo La Tengo. Their delicate minor harmonics move like how seaweed catches you and gently claws. The bass echoes of nimble-fingered Marcus Miller (Miles Davis, yo) in his most sexual playing groove. Keys shimmer and pool around female vocalists, strong as sirens, vulnerable as people. In “Pageant,” one voice sings, "Anytime they ask, you know that I lie. It's easier to just pretend that I'm fine," while her breathy backup counters, "I always wanted a sis-ter." It’s an utterly grounded and relatable emotion, backed by haunting and transcendent musicality. It rises to something good as beauty. Songs feel like they're organically poured from the musicians at once—arrangements wind around one another, creating an underwater spiral, pretty and circular and always rising toward the surface without ever quite breaking into the light. With Karimer Walker and Lowlife on Friday, July 14. Club Congress, 311 E. Congress. 8 p.m. 21+. Free.

Music

Dogbreth. "I want you to feel like you could rely on me if you need to" ... but I’m not sure if you can. This typifies the brutally honest, slightly neurotic voice of Dogbreth, a self-effacing indie combo from Phoenix and Seattle. Despite the lead singer’s openhearted rawness, the band is surprisingly well-produced and polished. Kindred to Fang Island, though by far less straight-ahead rocking, these kids were suckled on Belle and Sebastian's Tigermilk, reared on The Shins and came of age to Wayne Coin's quirked-up psych-pop earnestness. By calling themselves out on their own awkwardness, "head shaved, eating pizza at the Christown mall, waiting for you to call," Dogbreth is instantly endearing. That the fuzz guitars really soar and the bass really pounds make up for the wavery vocals, hell they highlight how authentic they really are. "Rock ’n’ roll won't make it all OK, but it used to seem that way.” Damn straight, and when we hear bands like this we remember why we felt that way. With Nice Try, Her Mana and CTV. Sunday, July 9
at Club Congress, 311 E. Congress St. $7. 7 p.m. 16 and up.

Satanik Goat Ritual. Rimshots pound your skull with relentless determination, a guitar pelts you with driving black rain and a vocalist terrifies, growling unholy utterances that keep popping up in an unseen speakers, like some Wackamole demon. The effect is disorienting, dark and appears utterly devoid of irony. This is Satanik Goat Ritual. Hailing from El Paso (fuck, yeah!), the band channels the violence of life lived debajo de la frontera. There’s no native language that will help you understand SGR's lyrics—they are utterly indescifrable— or universally understandable, depending on your perspective. In a "Prayer for Death," it’s like the deep vocal bark and repetitive hammer-fist downstrokes evoke thing you’re really ashamed of, sexual or otherwise. That’s power in song! This brutal combo channels real menace and conjures and harnesses that energy, and it’s primally unnerving. With Olden, Shadows of Algol, Bloodtrail and Xiuhcoatl on Saturday, July 8 at The Flycatcher, 340 E. 6th St. 9 p.m. $5. 21+.

decker. With the melodic sensibility of early Wallflowers, harnessing the jaunty chorale energy of the Polyphonic Spree, decker continuously bounces the listener like a baby on his knee and turns well-worn phrases over like quarters in his hands. He takes old-timey Americana orchestration to tackle modern topics like being a suburban "Patsy" ("Never better over there"), or the fact ODB will take his secrets "to the grave." His voice is a sincere blend of high nasal wine and perfect jazz control, a stellar combo and this music would be impeccable if it weren't for the irony. The production is perfect, stylized, craft-cocktail-hip, as are his pro YouTube vids. Perhaps he wants to be up-to-the-moment Jonathan Richmond (that’s be a real drag), but the music lapses into hipster clever-clever land too often. In the bluesy "Blackwash" he asks, "You want it real hot baby, how you feel it now?" I just want to feel something. And we’d much rather this mustached dude be real than hot. Ultimately his mastery over his music is his lorded mastery over us. As he strings together cliché after cliché, I wonder if he's just smirking inside, stringing listeners along too. With the mighty Carlos Arzate and The Kind Souls, Upsahl on Friday, July 7. Club Congress, 311 E. Congress St. 8 p.m. 21+. Free.

Patsy's Rats. "Rock ’n’ roll friend/Come see me again?/I'm starting to miss you" is sung to the limits of earnest Patsy Gelb’s vocal range. A dude sorta harmonizes overtop for emphasis, and punchy glimpses of a "My Sharona"/“Pretty Vacant” guitar punctuates and soars. The whole thing’s sweetly nostalgic, like Holly and the Italians or early Cars. Her vocals can be coolishly indifferent-sounding like VU's Mo Tucker, so when Patsy invites her friend to join her in a big black car, who wouldn’t wanna get on in with her. The band hails from Portland, but Patsy's dad is Pennsylvania-via-Tucson hero Howe Gelb, and her mom co-wrote Belinda Carlisle’s giant killer hit “Mad About You.” So, yeah, pretty good genes. On "Hard Time Karen,” we say goodbye to the girl enough times to make this song a solid drinking game selection. It's bouncy but dark and captures the duality of pop and macabre that’d make Lou Reed or Ric Ocasek green with envy. See the Rats before they blow into full-on underground superstars. With The Resonars, Al Lover and Wooden Tooth Record DJs on Thursday July 6. Club Congress, 311 E. Congress St. 7 p.m. Free.

Music

Kehlani. Her three-dimensional ’tude and delivery could never have existed until now. Kehlani’s got Left Eye’s strength and Janet’s vulnerability at once. Much like B.I.G., Kehlani shines despite shitty production; grating Auto-Tune self-harmonies are every bit as distracting as Diddy’s dismal off-tempo hype. But she's got a post-gangster rap, internalized braggadocio that could only come from being raised on Jean Grey's fractured feminism and Lil Kim's warm, long pussy confidence. On “Too Much,” Kehlani drops a rap verse that is neither defensive nor angry, she's merely “too much of a woman, too much of a badass” to suffer a cheating fool. Twenty years after “bitches ain't shit but hos and tricks,” Kehlani has recaptured and reclaimed the self-assurance of old blues greats, while retaining Lady Rage's hard-fought personhood. As her album promises, she is in fact sweet, sexy and savage at once. Her lyrics will no doubt benefit from maturity, but this is an exciting and necessary new voice. Go see her work the room live. Monday, June 12, at the Rialto Theater, 318 E. Congress. 8 p.m. $26-$39. All ages.

Siamese. Aimless guitars ascend and descend and shimmer like surface rings formed by skipping rocks across water. The minor-y downturns of female vocals haunt more like solo Nico than VU. This mixed-gender Dallas foursome creates a mood for the ages, more atmospheric than song-driven—like some time-warped ode to “Chelsea Girls” and aspiring, dimestore-draped junkies. So they’re sorta Dandy Warhols-y, replete with effects-soaked guitars and a dreampop feel. Though Siamese never allow themselves to be ironic, and their often droll delivery rescues them from pretentiousness. It leaves you feeling like you've heard them before—in some well-heeled Victorian parlor, not a new, fake speakeasy. And those brain cells you killed that night? That effort was not in vain. Wednesday, June 14, at The Flycatcher, 340 E. Sixth St. 21+. 8:30 p.m.

Black Medicine. A powerful female voice that’s part early Lucinda Williams, with a touch of Bonnie Raitt's spirit and phrasing, belts and waivers with control and precision. A guitar weaves around her melody sorta like old Duane Allman, with confidence and proficiency. Add git-fiddle on “Poison Potion” and suddenly the Mardi Gras spirit is everywhere. This is Black Medicine, straight outta the Old Pueblo. Their sound may be firmly rooted in Cajun and Southern rock, but it could only blossom in the Sonoran. Singer Erin Henderson sings the blues, facing down 30, both acceptant and reflective of living right here now with the "thorns and sand, spurs and sun." While not many songs are yet available to hear—this show launches Black Medicine's debut album, Monsoon Rain—those that are have a fully realized vision and hometown charm that's damn worthy. We’ve never seen them live but their videos are lovely. With Havarti Orchestra on Friday, June 9. The Flycatcher, 340 E. Sixth St. 21+. 8:30 p.m. Free.

Cinema

The Maltese Falcon (Film Noir Series). A private detective (misguidedly) takes on a case involving three eccentric criminals—and one gorgeous liar—on a quest for a priceless statuette.

Contact Dee at [email protected] for more information. 6:30 to 9 p.m. Sunday, June 4. Hilton El Conquistador Golf and Tennis Resort, 10000 N. Oracle Road.

Music

Katie Haverly. Whether backed by a violin or acoustic guitar or muted trumpet or piano, Tucson's Katie Haverly has one of those voices that lifts and soothes, creates tension and then releases it. It suggests adoration of golden-age (jazzy) folk-pop like Rickie Lee Jones, Judee Sill, David Crosby and Joni Mitchell—all lovely DNA, certainly—as well as Erykah Badu and Fiona Apple. Yet her songwriting alone could take center stage. The deceptively breezy “Wood,” from her ’15 album Aviary, slips into your heart with cool, beat country shuffles, but in the end it's a story of dreaded male gaze and ugly sexualization. It's brilliant, and works as a personal social takedown inside wide-appeal pop. Many of songs are remarkable because the pathos never sounds forced or fake—sad poetry of deception sidesteps the maudlin; requiems to lost loves steer clear of self-pity. How does she do that? Well, the tune and the voice and the compassion and the ability to translate unfiltered moments into gentle epistles and hurtsongs is nothing that can ever be taught or learned. It just is. And most don't have it. Thursday, June 1, at Tap & Bottle.

Nina Diaz. Not since Katharine Whalen stepped up to the mic 21 years ago to seduce us with her retro-swinger "Blue Angel" have we heard a voice as powerful yet controlled as Nina Diaz’s. After 15 years of fronting indie godheads Girl in a Coma, Nina has struck out on her own and the results are spooky, confessional, playful and sad. Through her captivating vocalizations—be they belted, crooned or whispered—we are privileged to bear witness to the emotional depth of a gifted singer and songwriter who came of age playing rock ’n’ roll, who likely looked to Patti Smith, Pauline Murray and Ari Up early on. Nina's delivery is unflinching and almost intimidating in its feminismo sexuality. In her hips is the ritmo of her San Antonio roots, in her heart the rawness of a newly sober being and in her mouth is PJ Harvey, Amy Winehouse and a little bit of Lola Beltran. Easily the best $8 you'll spend all week. With See, Birds and Arrows, on Saturday, June 3. Club Congress, 311 E. Congress. 7 p.m. 21+.

Underground Coverage Tour. Respect the Underground is repping quality hip-hop acts you've never heard of. Take Phoenix-based rapper (with Detroit street cred!) Bag of Tricks Cat, his quick-spitting spindle, “Too nerdy for the streets/Too street for the nerds.” Or Justus, who pulls off an entire verse in dimeter. There's the stick-and-move rat-a-tat of Tommy Will and the hard-working Brixx, whose post-Portishead hooks are as memorable as anything out there. The event is well curated with different MC styles to ensure the listener doesn't get burnt too quickly. And none of these dudes are wanksta. They all sidestep cliché, more Atmosphere than Easy, more Yellow Wolf than Common Sense, at least in his post-Kanye affiliation. Of course, as with any hip-hop show, some will probably suck live. And the sheer number of acts will likely be too much, but this is a chance to support the ever-evolving, smarter side of the scene. For the first time in years we can breathe a sigh of relief; Nas was wrong—hip hop ain’t dead yet. Featuring Bag of Tricks Cat, Justus, Tommy Will, Brixx on Friday June 2. Club Congress, 311 E. Congress, 8 p.m. $15. All ages.

Mr. Kitty. Waves of ascending and descending synths envelope you like a drunken Philly night in a dark alley. Once you’re surrounded by that oddly dreary comfort, a dude’s voice pleads, "I need you to kill me, I need you to destroy me." Ah, but it's metaphoric, there’s nothing direct about this combo, and like most pallid, self-confessed gothic boys, Mr. Kitty sidles up to you slowly, as if approaching a cornered hyena. He charms you with his frisky visions of doomed cat-faced brides, and slips his hand gently inside of yours. The corporeal intent of The Sisters of Mercy is faithfully rendered, even furthered by this Texan’s twists. So come alone, shrouded in the comfort of heavy fabric and sway in sync … The velvet crush and thick clove smoke ain’t cliché here—Mr. Kitty really is (unironically) celebrating life by facing down mortality. With The Rain Within and Iamdrugs on Tuesday, June 6. Club Congress, 311 Congress. 8 p.m. Free. 21+.

Planet Booty. By all rights, Planet Booty should be terrible. Six white folks playing chicken-butt funk, rap and hot-buttered soul, while ironically dressed in Adidas track and shiny poly suits. But what at first glance appears to be an elaborate joke on Euro trash quickly deepens into a hip-shaking sweet frolic as the John Holmes-like frontman, Dylan Germick, lets it loose. The band's YouTube videos, depicting Planet Booty on a yacht, flipping burgers and slapping fetching rows of booty are, for us first-gen MTV viewers, pretty dang clever. But if Luke Skywalker allusions were all these guys offered, it'd be whack—it's the genuine musicality, complete with solid vocal harmonies, that launch them up into Beck’s Midnight Vulture territory. We ain’t claiming they're genius, but if you adore the spectrum of dance music that kicks between Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the Darkness and Beck, it’s your show. Freak like you're 15 at high school Homecoming, yo. Early show! Sunday June 4, at 4 p.m. With Dadsdad, and B4Skin. The Flycatcher, 340 E. Sixth St. 21+. Free.

Arts & Culture

Frida al Fresco Friday. Frida Khalo (essentially) moved into the Botanical Gardens at the beginning of the year and, as far as we're concerned, there's no need for her to ever move out. On the fourth Friday of every month, the gardens have been opening up for Frida al Fresco Friday. In addition to featuring the Frida exhibit, these evenings will offer a farmers market, food, drinks, live music, look-alike contests and lower crowns. Everybody love Frida, so grab the fam and settle in for a night of celebrating strong women, beautiful art and seriously gront eyebrow game. 5-8 p.m. Friday, May 26. Tucson Botanical Gardens, 2150 N. Alvernon Way. "

Music

Drug Church. Imagine a lyricist who makes Morrissey sound lighthearted. A cosmovision based upon the notion that "entropy is the natural state of things" yelled with the gusto of Jesus Lizard but the wry delivery of The Hold Steady with bits of David Byrne tossed in. Yes, the aptly named Drug Church is gleefully soul crushing. Fortunately, the band's funked-out, dynamic and often careening walls of sound are almost enough to help you forget all that pesky mortal crap. Take the verve of Trompe Le Monde-era Pixies with a dash of Les Savy Fav brazenness and a pinch of Arcwelder's shape shifting and you have approximated the instrumentals that take hold of your body and drag you back towards the man on the mic yelling how no one here gets out alive. It's a mindfuck for sure and one that, if you're up for it, might make your worst day pale in comparison. Power! With Help Me Sleep and Sin Luz on Friday, May 26. Club Congress, 311 E. Congress. 8 p.m. Free. 21+.

Hikikomori. Hikikomori has been called The Lost Generation of Japan. One GIF reads “Hikikomori—when you suck at everything in life, just retreat to your bedroom and never come out.” It's not just a word, it's a concept, and a damn good name for a Tucson screamcore outfit who harbors a love of old-fashioned punk rock and metal. Channeling the rage of alienation and its resulting self-isolation, this tumbledown act speed-shrieks through tight, technically masterful genre tunes. Sure, they’re hardly bustin’ new ground, but their hearts pump hard, and there’s a raw power that makes us down here TW headquarters want to hit the pit and fuck with with all that churning, cathartic energy. Artistic touches like a woman's voice, first mediated through television sampling, then singing sweetly in Spanish and finally screaming in an original duet, distinguish this band from an often generic pool of Dimebag Darrell rip-offs and wannabe Sepulturas. Aptly named, Hikikomori reflects a cross-cultural socio-anxiety in Spanish and English. Now get out the house and sweat shove peers. It is rare to find an embodiment of the sickness and the cure at once. With La Luna on Monday, May 29 at Club Congress, 311 E. Congress. 7 p.m., $5. 16+.

Mommy Long Legs. More than two and a half decades after their riot grrrl antecedents first grabbed the mic, Mommy Long Legs is repping a glittery new distaff gen who dare shout down the patriarchy and its weary mores. Their predesisters did the heavy lifting, so these women can be the kind of spiders that tickle, not bite. Mommy Long Legs is more likely to nail you with a pillow than a bloody tampon. But they know well their history and its tropes—monotonous descending basslines, jarring dance-punk guitars, and shrill, shout-out singsongs. Join a gleeful pit of post Lisa Frank-inspired humans who revel in glorious wordplay like, "You can take your tech job … you can take your asshole, and put it in your new car." Whatever your gender, the irreverence is universal. With Crown Larks, Gamma, Like Very Ultra, Miss Abysmal at Club Congress, 311 E. Congress on Tuesday, May 30. 8 p.m. 21+. Free.

Karen Meat. Mix up the earnestness of Death by Chocolate, the fucked-up wit of early Courtney Love, and a loving unironic nod of Sheryl Crowe’s “good beer buzz early in the morning” tremble, and you begin to approach the comely vocal and lyrical worlds of Arin Eaton aka Karen Meat. What began as a one-woman endeavor out of Des Moines, Iowa (?!) has blossomed into a combo. The result is garage rock with a performance-art twist—like Guided by Voices fronted by a beautiful, self-deprecating woman. “You want me to be the girl of your dreams, but I’d rather barf all the things I scarfed down earlier.” Karen Meat is constant surprise, able to tackle two-minute ditties with a definite nod to Peaches’ sexualized ambivalence. The result is clever, hard-hitting skronk-rock worth its weight in color-coordinated outfits and good whiskey nights. Wednesday, May 31, at PoMoRo, 933 North Main Ave. 8 p.m. 21+. $5 donation.

Fitness & Body

Cinema

Some Like it Hot. Get your summer dose of mob movies when Some Like It Hot shows up at Cinema La Placita, telling the classic story of two male jazz musicians who flee from the mob by disguising themselves as performers in an all female band. When the band heads out on a train journey, the men (going by the pseudonyms Josephine and Daphne) meet the irresistible Sugar Kane (played to perfection by Marilyn Monroe). The men lust after Sugar, while she expresses her distaste for dating musicians—and her desire to find a millionaire to marry in Florida. Can these men-in-wigs on the run escape the mob and get the girl? There’s only one way to find out. 7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 25, at the Tucson Museum of Art courtyard, N. Main Ave. $3 per person, including popcorn!

Boxing Helena.

Found Footage Festival. With the Loft Cinema’s main auditorium undergoing a makeover, the Loft staff is taking a trip to downtown’s Rialto Theatre for this year’s installment of the Found Footage Festival. Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prue (The Colbert Report) salvage VHS tapes from thrift stores, yard sales and who knows where else to assemble a very unusual collection of clips that they narrate for the audience. As a great man once said, when the going gets weird, the weird fire up the VCR—or something like that. 8 p.m. Saturday, May 27. Rialto Theatre, 318 E. Congress St.

Movie Poster Sale. Take a second and look around at your walls. A little blank, eh? Surround yourself with scenes from your favorite flicks by purchasing movie posters from the Loft Cinema.
