[^^^]Tender Loving Empire’s 1st Anniversary Bash: Finn Riggins, Jared Mees & The Grown Children, Super XX Man, Boy Eats Drum Machine, Nadine Mooney, Southern Belle, Newspapers
[BIRTHDAY PARTY POP] Talk about cause for celebration. Tender Loving Empire—the record label, gift shop and proprietor of all things cute owned by local musicians Jared Mees and his wife Brianne—is celebrating its first anniversary in grand style, with a massive party (complete with piñatas, prizes and cake, no doubt) and showcase featuring the label’s finest acts, including the awesome folk-pop stylings of new label signee Super XX Man. The first 50 people through the door will receive a free Friends and Friends of Friends compilation and a chance to see the simple yet haunting whisper-folk songs of Nadine Mooney, whose whimsical debut, MouseHouseWormHole, is among the year’s best so far. MICHAEL MANNHEIMER. 8 pm. 231 SW Ankeny St., 248-4579. $5. All ages.

[^^^]NOFX, No Use for a Name, American Steel
[CALI POP-PUNK] Agitprop fun in the California sun sounds—to us, anyway—like San Francisco’s NOFX, a ribald, pro-dissent pop-punk-pop outfit that celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Led by bassist/lyricist/singer and Fat Wreck Chords founder “Fat Mike” Burkett, the foursome proffers a high-octane, ska-derived sound that rocks like hour five of a poli-sci beer-bash. NOFX’s members have never sugarcoated their disgust for government and authoritative structures in general, but homicidal tendencies toward the present occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. have inspired an especially livid revolt—what some might term a vitriolic renaissance. Given the sorry state of what passes for punk these days (with its neverending litany of self-pity and insubstantial girl problems), NOFX’s tireless polemic salvos in the face of mainstream irrelevance are downright inspiring. RAY CUMMINGS. 9 pm. 1332 W Burnside St., 225-0047. Sold out. All ages.

[^^^]South, The Silver State, Ki:Theory, Johnny Lloyd Rollins
[INDIE ROCK] You’ll have to get out early (as in weird start time 8:20 pm early) to catch all the indie rock action at the Doug Fir tonight. Opener Johnny Lloyd Rollins is just country enough to keep from sliding into contemporary sleepy tunes, and Ki:Theory’s use of minimal electronics is just enough to set its sound apart from others in the same vein. Brooklyn’s the Silver State doesn’t have much new to offer, but the headliner, London’s South, is sure to get those toes a-tappin’ with emotionally loaded lyrics, beautiful chords and soft, catchy hooks. AARON COLTER. 8:20 pm. 830 E Burnside St., 231-9663. $10 advance, $12 day of show. 21+.

[^^^]Kate Nash, The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players
[FAMILY MATTERS] The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players have a good schtick: Daddy Jason handles gitbox, piano and vocals; 14-year-old Rachel plays drums and sings backup (the band began in 2000; you do the math), and Mama Tia Piña projects slideshows of random-ass pictures purchased at garage sales while goofball yarns are sung about the people therein. But see it quick—the cute-kid novelty is destined to be lost to time, at least until Trachtenburg grandbabies are born and/or a middle-aged Rachel leads her elderly parents into the age of iPhoto slideshows. AP KRYZA. 8 pm. 128 NE Russell St., 284-8686. $17 advance, $18 day of show. All ages.
