    Comedy Wham: Sixth Anniversary Show

    Why do you want to attend this live-podcast show? One: Because it features Comedy Wham's head honcho Valerie Lopez committing her 200th interview. Two: Because the comedians being interviewed are Sure Thing's own Brendan K. O'Grady and Duncan Carson. Three: That's already so much comedio-intellectual firepower, this gig would be a best bet on a weekend night in Vegas ... but it's happening on a Wednesday night at the Fallout's underground bunker in Downtown Austin. The conclusion is obvious, right? Don't make us do the math for you, citizen, we're still nursing those five billion neurons we strained while attempting to grok a Calabi-Yau manifold.
    Wed., Jan. 19, 8pm. $8-10.

    The War on Drugs

    Visions of Mom and Dad slow dancing to the powerful Eighties rock ballads from I Don’t Live Here Anymore invite themselves. The fifth studio album from Philadelphia-born rock band The War On Drugs is all Eighties synth, owing debts to Phil Collins, Bob Dylan, and Def Leppard. Luscious and melancholy, the Grammy-winners offer their most grounded lyrical reflections, losing none of their sparkling layers of texture and melody. These songs were made with legacy in mind, inspired by new baby Bruce (like Springsteen), said leader Adam Granduciel, who requests that concertgoers mask up.
