I don’t know much about the Queers other than they’re a seminal ’80s-era punk band, and they used to be on Lookout! but are now on Asian Man. Wiki describes them as “Ramones meets the Beach Boys,” and says they’re touring as a trio with Joe Queer at the helm (as always). Joining them on this rather large bill tonight at Slowdown Jr. are Kepi Ghoulie of the Groovie Ghoulies, The Riptides, Eastern Turkish & the Shidiots. $13, 9 p.m.
