Hot Victory, Jippedo, Hide and Go Hustle

[DIRTY DANCING] Come get your grunge on with this Portland trio of dirty-rock bands. Jippedo’s grimy, unrefined experimental-shout music makes the group sound like the house band of a dark, haunted carnival arcade. Headlining the show is Hot Victory, whose smash-and-jam style of scruffy bang rock is sure to appeal to anyone who thrashed hard in a high school garage band. The lineup’s catchiest act is the adorable twosome Hide and Go Hustle, which combines crafty looping and electronic tidbits with mellow cello-playing to create upbeat pop with a dark, orchestral edge. WHITNEY HAWKE. Rotture 9 pm. $5. 21+.

Watain, Withered, Book Of Black Earth, Ealdath, Zoroaster

[TRUE BLACK METAL] Though Portland is full of metal fans, there are far too few local acts to satiate the hunger for great metal music. And despite the number of black-metal releases clogging shelves and listening stations at local stores, there are absolutely no relevant black-metal artists in this city. So it is cause for dark celebration when a band of Watain’s caliber plants its flag for a night in our soil. Watain is the king of the underground Swedish black-metal scene. This is not the keyboard-heavy goth pomp that you see on Cable On-Demand. This is corpse-ripping rock, played by Vikings soaked in blood. NATHAN CARSON. Rotture 8:30 pm. $10.

Saturday October 18

The Dead Science, Pill Thief, The Vanishing Kids

[SPOOKY, WU-OBSESSED ART-CORE] If Wu-Tang Svengvali RZA really wants to change the game, he'd be wise to ask Seattle's Dead Science to open for him—or the Wu itself, if another reunion outing is in the cards. Not only does this trio know Wu lore inside and out, but it's also fully capable of bringing the elegantly orchestrated motherfucking ruckus. On new album Villianaire, frontman Sam Mickens holds dastardly court in an arboretum of hiccuping harps and sawing strings, over-enunciating threats he'll never carry out as his band transforms comic-book supervillainy into something almost aristocratically refined. RAY CUMMINGS. Rotture 9 pm. $7. 21+.
