Speaking of advance tickets, you might want to think about picking them up for the Death Cab for Cutie show at the Van Duzer April 21, and/or for the Tegan and Sara show April 19.

Hey, the Placebo is back with “a punkalicious all-ages show” Saturday, Feb. 23, in the Ink People’s space (in the back of the Muni) with Social Concern , female-fronted hardcore/punks from Chico, S.F.-based experimental punks The Floating Corpses and a new local acousto-punk outfit called The Radical Devil . Starts early — 6:30 p.m. — ends early — 10 p.m. Good to see the kids are back in action.

Last but not least, how about a fine meal and some good dance music? The Northcoast Preparatory and Performing Arts Academy’s6th Annual Elegant French Dinner and Dance Saturday* evening* at the Bayside Grange starts with a sit-down dinner (overseen by an excellent French chef who also teaches at the school) followed by dancing to everyone’s favorite dance band The Delta Nationals . Mais oui!
