TUESDAY, JULY 12 >>>
1. The Lovely Bad Things play blissed-out, fuzzed-up garage-pop that bursts with jangly exuberance. Their sound is unmistakably Californian in its laid-back pop-mindedness. Catch them at 8 p.m. inside The New Frontier Lounge.
2. It's "Local Artists Appreciation Day" at the 6th Avenue Farmers Market beginning at 3 p.m. in the North Pine Street and Sixth Avenue neighborhood. Southern Skies provides the soundtrack.
3. Every Tuesday, the Northern Pacific Coffee Company takes a look at who and what's giving the South Sound the giggles with its comedy open mic hosted by Jennifae beginning at 8 p.m.
4. It would feel a lot better losing a quiz game if you were drunk. A genius in Colorado has taken that concept, and the Irish pub quiz tradition, to "next-level" status, incorporating multi-media quiz questions and opportunities to win stuff through the national craze Geeks Who Drink, hosted locally by Holland Hume every Tuesday at 8 p.m. inside Paddy Coyne's.
5. Hindershot, The Northern Rail and Eo Ipso will rock Le Voyeur around 9 p.m.
