WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 2011 >>>

1. Those moody bunch of post-punkers The Celestials bring their Billy Corgan-esque screeds, shoegaze blurriness and spacey ruminations to Le Voyeur at 10 p.m. with Tadoma opening.

2. When we hear "Pops on the Lawn," most of us think about our dads standing in the middle of the lawn in their ratty bathrobe with a hose in one hand and a coffee cup in the other - with an occasional wardrobe malfunction causing neighbor Gladys Kravtiz to call the cops. At 4 p.m. on the Karlan Quad at the University of Puget Sound, "Pops on the Lawn" means a performance by the  UPS Wind Ensemble led by student conductors. Watch out for that errant Frisbee.

3. Real to Reel - the youth led film and photography initiative that helps give vision to youth voice - will feature three short documentaries on violence created by youth from the community beginning at 6 p.m. inside The Grand Cinema. Come hear their story on violence and how it affects them. There will be a chance to talk with the members of each group following the showing.

4. Wailer No. 1, Kent Morrill, lead singer and keyboard player for seminal Tacoma garage-rock band the Fabulous Wailers, died on April 15 after a long battle with colon cancer. He was 70. But Morrill's musical legacy lives on when a who's who of classic Northwest rockers pays tribute to their fallen peer with a free show set for 7 p.m. at Tacoma's Temple Theatre. To read Ernest A Jasmin's full piece on the passing of Kent Morrill and the memorial show tonight at the Temple Theater in Tacoma, click here.

5. Chopstix on Sixth Avenue has brought back its Wednesday dueling piano show beginning at 9 p.m.
