(MUSIC) This is the weekend for holiday parties (tonight KEXP and Chop Suey host theirs) but Saturday I'm siding with the punks. Local record slingers Singles Going Steady remain loyal to all things hardcore, crust, oi!, ska, garage, and beyond. Tonight they celebrate the season with Portland's the Epoxies and two old-school Seattle favorites—the Briefs and the Spits. Don't miss openers Meisce, who toast the Pogues' Irish working-class pub rock. (El Corazón, 109 Eastlake Ave E, 381-3094. 9:30 pm, $10, all ages.) JENNIFER MAERZ
