Jonathan Toubin's SOUL CLAP w/ Sailor Poon, Lord Friday the 13th
Beloved vinyl DJ Jonathan Toubin cut his teeth in Austin, playing in punk bands like Cheezus, Noodle, and the Hamicks throughout the roaring Nineties. The following decade, in NYC, he’d help cement the aesthetic of the 45rpm DJ night craze – hosting the famed New York Night Train series where he’d spin wondrous, highly eclectic mixes of soul, R&B, and vintage rock. His career was nearly cut short by the freakiest of freak accidents while on tour in 2011, when a taxi cab drove through the wall of his Portland motel room and landed atop his sleeping body. Emerging from a coma with innumerable injuries, he miraculously recovered and continued energizing dance floors. His annual Austin appearance includes a $100 cash prize midnight dance contest and performances by camp-oddity glam punks Lord Friday the 13th and garage menaces Sailor Poon.Sat., Jan. 13, 8pm -

Big Medium: No Kings But Us
"The collaborative back-and-forth between artists Robert Hodge and Tim Kerr is as compelling and intriguing for what is on display as for what is not. This exhibition presents the vivid yet amorphous residue of a contested, negotiated, and ultimately collaborative chronicle. It gathers swatches of 20th- and 21st-century history as recounted by artists from different generations and backgrounds, who share as many crossovers as they do variations."Opening reception: Fri., Jan. 12, 8-10pm -
