Rachel Martin and Suze Kemper, those indefatigable Hard Women, present a new original work that explores the profound and mysterious bond between women and their dogs. This much-anticipated resurgence of performance art includes monologues, movement, songs, tableaux vivant headdresses, dog ventriloquist dummies, flying marionettes, video interviews, audience interactions, a dog devotional shrine, and a canine version of “Zoltar the Great.” Recommended!

Is it hot in here, or is it just that Beard? DJ Beard, that is, turning up the beats with Daddie Dearest at Austin's only bear bar. Ride on, boyz.

A no-badge required queer party for everyone under the rainbow with dapperQ's Anita Dolce Vita and panelists from her Friday panel and L&B's Sunday panel.

This show displays Ruth's gorgeous and eerie* interpretations of Twin Peaks, featuring more than 60 prints inspired by the Showtime series from Mark Frost and David Lynch. Asterisk: How could they be otherwise, citizen?

The ladies of OutHaus ask you to let me violate, desecrate, penetrate, and complicate your Friday night all in the name of Nine Inch Nails. That's right, Arcie Cola, CupCake, Kitty Buick, Louisianna Purchase, Summer Clearance, and Zane Zena are celebrating The Downward Spiral's 25th anniversary, and if they've got no soul to sell, special guests Chique Fil-Atio, Rosalind Hussell, Papi Churro, and Rhonda Jewels will break apart your insides. 18 and up to play.

Live – as at the Austin Music Awards last week – Tomar Williams can be the spitting image of Otis Redding. Fifth of seven siblings to a dynastic musical family from Victoria that spun off the Jackson 5-like 6:AM in the Eighties, Williams sings like the late, great soul legend as well. At the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar last year, directed to basically play unplugged so as not to disturb shoppers, Williams and his “Funky Caucasians” riled up a full audience basically with soul whispers.

Elizabeth Chapin’s work references her Southern upbringing and the conflicted nostalgia surrounding the gentility and graciousness of the South. "Chapin views much of this culture as made possible largely by graceless and dark systems. This obfuscation of ugliness and the worship of appearance is the theme that runs throughout her new body of work." Ayup. Now, how about a large array of exemplary fauvist portraits, sometimes embellished by frames of tulle or active neon twisted like wild yarn? This fierce combo sizzles like angel spit on a griddle, makes eyes take wing. Recommended.
