Tekgnosis

(LAPTOP WIZARDRY) Tekgnosis can now claim two Laptop Battle winners: m.O. won one in 2005 and Ryan "Squid Leader" Bird strutted away with this year's June 10 contest, earning the right to rep Seattle in this year's national championship. Tonight these fun-loving byte manipulators and V-drum specialists play solo and together as Tekgnosis at the ever-stimulating Oscillate night. They'll make you want to rave like it's 2009. (Baltic Room, 1207 E Pine St, 625-4444. 9 pm, $5, 21+.)
