Portland, Oregon-based Native musician and Saddle Creek Records artist Katherine Paul, better known by her stage name Black Belt Eagle Scout, is a marvel of post-rock innovation, blending fuzzy after-grunge sparks with the sounds of her heritage with a result which rises higher than the sum total of its ingredients. I highly recommend this show as a fine way to immerse your weekend in something wonderful and unique. Speaking of which, local support Fig from Blood Hunny fame is quite a rare and fantastic sound-maker as well, so you really can’t miss this one if you feel a springtime unfurling is in order to dust off the winter detritus of your blossoming soul. The Miniplex is the place, the hour of power is 8:30 p.m. and advance tickets will run you $15, $18 at the door the night of. Enjoy.
