On Saturday, the Stones Throw will feature a local favorite from Minneapolis – Melismatics. They’re a swaggering, super-tight pop band that takes their own modern vision and sterling hooks and then tumble them around with the best aspects of the classics. While referencing points stretch from Big Star, Husker Dü, the Kinks, and Supergrass, to Devo and AC/DC, their catchy and euphoric noise is all their alone. 4 bucks, 10pm, Stones Throw.

Also on Saturday: Theater Discovery Day for the drama queens, Ice Cream and Pie Social for the friendly sweet toothers, pig and corn roast at Ray’s for the pork-lovers, Fiamma Fumana for the technophiles, Mojo Lemon for the blues-niks – and No Loving Place, Wrecking Day, and Orestus those who wear ear plugs.

Have a good one.
