Portland, Oregon’s Fox Medicine is a metal band with bright imagery, referring to their genre as “bubblegum doom.” Which is fairly on the mark, as far as I can recall from the last time I caught their act when they rolled through town. Tonight these glossy blitz-makers will be posted up at the Siren’s Song Tavern, with support from It & I and Death Doula. Think of it as a metal show with pink frills. Doors open at 8 p.m., $10 to get inside. If you’re looking for a different scene, a noted face-tattooed rapper who caught fame in the last decade — when kids were putting out tracks on SoundCloud, eating benzos like candy and giving themselves the stage prefix “Lil” like they were emissaries from Munchkinland — is in town. I’m of course talking about Lil Xan, who has since cleaned up his pill issues but still holds onto everything else that made him popular six years ago. It’s good fun for those who dig it and the Arcata Theatre Lounge is the absolute correct venue. Doors at 8 p.m., and the tickets are as follows: $45 general admission, $35 advance and $250 for bottle service spots.
