Local noise-monger Steven Dugger hosts an album release show for his experimental music project Permanent Casual at the Sanctuary tonight at 8 p.m. ($5-$20 sliding scale.) Filling out the bill will be former Sanctuary artist-in-residence Philip Deniz's act Comfort Creature and a performance of Blush's Waltz by the Furniture Ensemble directed by Sanctuarian Daniel Nickerson.

The Alibi has a good ol' fashioned killer show tonight at 11 p.m. when Portland's nasssty hard rock outfit Pushy comes to town for a greasy one-night stand. How much will it cost you? I can't say but the show itself is as free as the air we breathe, my brothers and sisters.
