Here's this week's top five club picks from The Som Show, as appears in the Entertainment Spokane weekly e-newsletter (sign up).


The Fatty Acids - At the very least, Milwaukee's favorite folk-fusion-psychobilly quartet has a catchy name. And behind the warm and fuzzy veneer is a mesh wiry guitar wails over distorted drums and wavy synths strung across a brass backdrop. The Fatty Acids followed their debut, "Stop Berries, Berries and Berries Berries," with even more ambitious instrumentation and delirious lyricism in the form of their July release, "Leftover Monsterface." Hear it live when the Fatty Acids headlines a show with Portland's New York Rifles and locals Belt of Vapor and Bandits at 9 p.m. on Saturday, August 6, at Mootsy's, 406 W. Sprague. Cost: $5, 21 and older only.

 

George Thorogood - With a new album on the way -- his 16th studio album, and 21st overall full length release -- rockin' blues veteran George Thorogood is still Bad to the Bone and bringing his backing band, The Destroyers,  to tear down the house with Stones Foxes on Tuesday, August 9, at 8 p.m. at The Knitting Factory Concert House, 919 W. Sprague Ave. Cost: $26, through www.ticketfly.com.

 

KYRS Spokrawl - If you're up for a pub hopping party the Spokane Party Bus will be your chauffeur for the first annual  KYRS Spokrawl: Pub Crawl & Trivia Trek. The fundraiser for Thin Air Community Radio encompasses nine pubs worth of trivia contests, prizes, good cheer. Or, just ride around in the bus and party with laser lit sound system sets by KYRS DJs. The event runs from 7 p.m. to midnight on Friday, August 5, at participating bars in downtown Spokane. Cost: $25 pre-sale, $30 night of the event, 21 and older only. For more details, or to register online, visit www.kyrs.org or call 509-747-3012.

 

Blue Ribbon Tea Company - Progressive folk couple Bill and Kathy Kostelec's lyrical content contains anything from socially conscious political activism to children's songs. They'll likely be doing a little of both on Saturday, August 6, at 7:30 p.m. on the terrace at Rocket Market, 726 W. 43rd. Cost: Free.

 

Flying Spiders - Spokane's organic hip-hop symphony circustra, Flying Spiders are back on the radar, breaking their short hiatus with another local band that's been dormant this summer, improvisational experimental hip-hop freestyle trio Foot in the Door, tonight, August 3, at The Globe, 204 N. Division. Cost: Free.

Tonight's featured artist on the terrace at Rocket Market is none other than indie-soul-pop singer-songwriter and bandleader of Kari Marguerite and the Seventy-Six.

Marguerite released her first full-length studio set in February, so you have a chance to snag it at tonight's acoustic affair, which starts at 7:30 p.m. at Rocket Market, 726 E. 43rd.

The show is free. All ages welcome.
