The Stranger

Tonight’s bill gathers some of the weirder, wilder acts from the fringes of Seattle’s hiphop scene for a varied and entertaining evening. Linda and Ron’s Dad traffic in digitally dirty, organically blunted beats bolstered by video travelogues, found sounds, GI-era Vietnamese funk 45s, and homemade acoustic instrumentation. They Live! are a weed-murdering rap duo whose hyperanimated stage presence, tight punch lines, and Adult Swim–sampling ADD beats kill the myth of the lazy stoner. Champagne Champagne may be the most pathologically hard-hustling game in town, both onstage and off. With Weekend and DJ Darwin. (Nectar, 412 N 36th St, 632-2020. 9 pm, $7, 21+.) by Eric Grandy
