Father John Misty
As Father John Misty, Josh Tillman croons disdain for our modern experience while sucking its marrow. Balladeer of the existentially bored and prophet of oblivious profligacy, his third LP Pure Comedy hones a perfect pop pastiche between apocalyptic visions and self-flagellating confession. Prepare for a tightrope walk between sincerity and snark. Psych-folk chanteuse Weyes Blood opens an added second show.Mon., Oct. 2, 8pm -

Terror Fest presents the Obsessed, Iron Tongue, Duel, Salo
When Scott “Wino” Weinrich’s Seventies doom specters materialized at Come & Take It Live in May, the former Bay Area, now-Maryland trio rumbled its fourth LP and first in 23 years, Sacred. Now arrives a deluxe reissue of the band’s eponymous 1990 debut, an uncanny slice of Black Sabbath buttressed by a rare era EP and raw live set from five years earlier that could be the last word on the Obsessed.Mon., Oct. 2, 9pm -

Davis Gallery: Elements: Rock, Steel, Felt, Wax
We're getting goosebumps just writing this blurb, that's how gorgeous the work in the Davis Gallery's "Elements" exhibition is. Because the artists whose work is displayed here, each of them have created pieces representing one of the four materials noted in the show's title. And those artists are Giota Vorgia, Randall Reid, Barbara Attwell, and Annie Darling. And, Austinite, if you don't already know what those four names herald in the way of skill, mastery, and sublime visual impact of production … well, we envy you the introduction to this quartet of artmakers.Through Oct. 7 -
