Dante’s | 1 SW 3rd Ave., 226-6630 | more info
[^^^]The Legendary Shack Shakers, Cicada Omega, Seven Signs
[AMERICANA GOTHIC] The Legendary Shack Shakers are viciously meticulous, not the intentionally sloppy stuff we’ve come to identify as dirty country rock. Yes, it’s dirty. Sometimes it’s even psychotic, particularly on storytelling anthems like “Ichabod,” wherein sickly-skinny frontman J.D. Wilkes howls like a maniac. The Shakers do for Americana what the Pogues did for Celtic music—inject it with a breakneck vigor that makes music more than 100 years old sound fresh. AP KRYZA. 1 SW 3rd Ave., 226-6630. $12. 21+. Also at Waterfront Blues Festival, 4:45 pm.

[^^^]House Party: Joee Irwin, Bryan Zentz, 31 Avas
[DJ SEIZURES] If only the Vancouver fireworks display lasted four hours and was this seizure-inducing. A local electronic trio hits the decks tonight to make Holocene’s windows vibrate with heavy, repetitive beats and thumped-up, even heavier bass. Tonight’s tribal techno tunes will come with a side of diva, pulsing lights and bodies, empty shot glasses, screenprint tees and shaking what your mammy gave you.

[^^^]Rock ‘n’ Roll Juicebox: Jonny X and the Groadies, Fist Fite, Experimental Dental School, Sei Hexe
[BIRTHDAY PUNKS] For a dozen years, Jonny X and the Groadies have celebrated their birthday on Independence Day. While our country has been drug through mud, blood and oil, the Groadies still wave their flag of independence with morals intact (all ages or die!). The band plays good-time party black metal noise grind (did you even know such a thing existed?), sporting Spandex, laser lights, fog and a high-tech array of samplers. The show (the first in a two-day event put on by garage-punk collective Hovercraft) is a short, visceral experience that is fattened up considerably with several courses: a vegetarian barbecue and chili cook-off is the appetizer; sets from good-time synthpunks Fist Fite and Experimental Dental School serve as main course and early dessert. Also see Live Review of Explode Into Colors, playing day two. NATHAN CARSON. 9 pm. 820 SE Alder St., . $5. All ages.
