• Show reminder: Womb Raider, Loviatar and Asile make some noise at 443 Kent Street; further heaviness is on tap at Mavericks with Evile, Gamma Bomb, Bonded by Blood, Aggressor, and Joe Thrasher; Dan Kosub and Dog Tooth Violet are at the Rainbow; the Elmdale House hosts The Peat Brothers and Red Light Saints.
