Lucky, ominous or otherwise, the only agreed-upon spooky day before Halloween this year is here. Superstitions aside, I am going to act as though this is any other Friday as far as my beat is concerned. Here are two gigs to kickstart your weekend.
The Outer Space opens its doors at 5:30 p.m. for snacks and mingling, but the music gets underway at 7 p.m., with experimental folk trio Mighty Violets playing a set buttressed by the support of highly talented musical everyman Daniel Nickerson. As ever, money isn’t required to enter this sober, all-ages venue, but a $5-$10 donation is appreciated. Over at the Miniplex at 8:30 p.m., you will find the chamber pop stylings of Bay Area classically trained vocalist and self-taught instrumentalist Asha Wells, along with slowcore indie group Glacier Dorm and local DJs Crop Circles, Maehem and CryBB. Tickets are $15 at the door, $12 advance.
