Brave this weekend’s forecasted storm to head to cheap and easy events from Gobble Up Seattle to the third edition of Craft Rave Seattle and from Seattle Film Critics Society’s PNW Awards to a 20th anniversary screening of The Heart of the Game. For more ideas, check out our top picks of the week.
FRIDAY
LIVE MUSIC
Los Chismosos (Dark Chisme Punk Set), Anthers, Beautiful Freaks
Though they’re known for synth-infused gothic tunes, local darkwave duo Dark Chisme incited a mosh pit and blew out the generator with a hardcore set at Linda’s Fest this summer. The band brings their punk side project, Los Chismosos, to the Sunset Tavern on Friday the 13th for a healthy dose of doom and gloom with support from noise rock group Anthers and punk rockers Beautiful Freaks. If you’re missing the macabre of Halloween, this show is the perfect opportunity to lean into your dark side and get a little bit freaky. You can expect heavily distorted guitars, screaming vocals, and high energy levels—just remember to take a break from headbanging if you start feeling dizzy! SHANNON LUBETICH
