Back to the Miniplex again tonight because that place is absolutely cooking with good shows this week. Tonight’s headliners are dear to my heart, as they are among the fine flock of critters I got to enjoy as a teenager long ago in my old home of New Orleans. I’m talking about the fabulous synth and puppet stylings of Quintron & Miss Pussycat, the radical inventors of many good times and good time aides, from Drum Buddies to beyond the uncanny valley of plush theatrics all the world around. My best advice for the uninitiated is to look up some of their live shit on YouTube or, even better, trust me on this one and nab some tickets ASAP to see for yerselves ($15 for earlybirds, $20 at the door). Oakland/Bay Area duo Bat Noise will provide an excellent companion sound, and DJ Anya Slayer and the WOAH (Women on Air Humboldt) Collective will tune the vibes right, so be sure to be there when the doors open at 8 p.m.
