The Stranger

Even if you feel like you have never heard Gossip, you’ve probably heard Gossip. They used to be called the Gossip and they are hit machines. Led by the incredible Beth Ditto, Gossip made a name for themselves more than a decade ago in Olympia (hi, Olympia!) and have albums on K Records and Kill Rock Stars. The 2006 album Standing in the Way of Control is probably the one you’ve heard (perhaps without even knowing it), mainly because the title track has been programmed into the very concept of HAVING FUN and DANCING. There will be lots of both tonight. (Showbox at the Market, 1426 First Ave, www.showboxonline.com, 7:30 pm, $26 adv/$28 DOS, all ages) by Emily Nokes
