Music
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists at Neumos
The Brutalist Bricks is the best album Ted Leo and the Pharmacists have released in years—it's huge power pop laced with soul, punk, and ska. Delivered with Leo's humor and contagious energy, these new, guitar-driven songs will no doubt sound fan-fucking-tastic live. My fingers are crossed that he steps away from his own catalog, if only for a moment, as he also does righteous versions of tunes by Chumbawamba (no, not that song), Springsteen, and Thin Lizzy. With the Hive Dwellers and the Sea Navy. (Neumos, 925 E Pike St, 709-9467. 8 pm, $14, all ages.)

'Laws of Attraction'
What is it about certain people—like, say, Justin Bond or local writer/actor Marya Sea Kaminski—that they can make a room feel stormy and magical just by walking in and starting to talk? Whatever it is, Kaminski's got that mojo. Whether she's howling out Greek fury in a production of Electra or telling small stories about love and lust, just listening to Kaminski's voice will make you a better person. Tonight she reads something new (apparently about attraction), along with essayist Phillip Lopate, poet Emily Warn, and the band Happy Hour Hero. (Kane Hall, University of Washington, Room 120, 800-838-3006. 7:30 pm, $15–$25.)
