WORLD BEAT DANCE MUSIC: Imagine a bar so full you have to dodge poised pool cues and swinging dreadlocks (Ever been hit in the eye with one? It's like a hairy mallet, and stings like a bitch.) Imagine a bar so lively that dank beers slosh on you and skanking elbows poke you in the ribs. Imagine a place to get down and dirty and dance and get drunk and have such a good time listening to the band that all of the above afflictions don't even faze you. Such a place is the Eastside Club in Olympia. And such a band is Yogoman Burning Band. Start your weekend right and groove down to this fresh percussion/brass five-piece whose MySpace motto is "let's get ridiculous." With The Quick and Easy Boys, 9 p.m., $5, The Eastside Club Tavern, 410 Fourth Ave., Olympia - Nikki Talotta
