Onto the weekend…

On All Your Tomorrows Were Decided Today, an album originally released 20 years ago that was remastered and rereleased last year, Chicago’s Che Arthur boasts a static, ’90s DIY post-rock sound reminiscent of acts like Silkworm and Husker Du. Strangely, other than a new track release this year, it’s the only album on his Spotify page. Anyway, Che Arthur is playing tonight at fabulous O’Leaver’s for a show in which our very own Healer is the headliner. Colin the Rocket Scientist opens at 9:30 p.m., and this one’s Free!

Somehow over the years I’ve managed to miss Virgin Mary Pistol Grip. I must have seen them at some point as they’ve been around for over a decade. After listening to a few tracks of their latest album, Just a Little More Love, I have to wonder what I’ve been missing. The four-piece celebrates the release of that album Saturday night at Reverb Lounge, an album recorded with LA producer Bob Marlette (Filter, Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, among others). Dear Neighbor also is on the bill. Waiting for Parry opens at 8 p.m. $10

Meanwhile, out at the new Astro Theater in La Vista Saturday night, Perry Ferrell’s other band, Porno for Pyros, is playing a rescheduled date for their “Horns, Thorns En Halos Farewell Tour.” British trio Tigercub opens at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $49 to $69.

Also Saturday night, Garst headlines at The Slowdown with a slew of locals including Jack, Social Cinema and Bad Self Portraits. 8 p.m., $12.

And that’s all I got. If I missed your show, put it in the comments section. Have a great weekend.
