AGAINST ODDS—A few short months ago, it seemed the Clientele's days on this earth were limited. Thankfully, the purveyors of gorgeous English pop have returned for another American tour, giving us a chance to bask again in their sumptuous melodies. NL
w/Lay Low, TCTB; Doug Fir, 830 E Burnside, 9 pm, $12-14
WHITE LOTUS—Tonight the Grindhouse Film Fest presents not one but two kung fu flicks: 1980's Fist of the White Lotus (starring professional badass Gordon Liu!), and 1974's The Seven Brothers Meet Dracula (starring Hammer horror vet Peter Cushing!). Buffy's kicks and punches are fine and good, but seeing kung fu masters go up against the undead should be a glorious spectacle to behold. EH
Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy, Fist of the White Lotus at 7 pm, Seven Brothers Meet Dracula at 9 pm, $7 each ($10 for both)
It's happening tonight, the next night, AND the next night at My, What a Busy Week!
