The Peculiar Pretzelmen are good enough to eat tonight at The Space and tomorrow at Calapooia, while The Monster Addict will bang your head old skool at Wasteland Friday. Gotta love Wasteland’s line-ups for the band names alone, let alone their heavy metal awesomeness.
Looking for something more light-hearted? Hit up the 50th Turkey Rama in McMinnville for some tasty bird and innocent nostalgia.
Whatever you do this weekend, think cool.
