Put down your turkey sandwiches and wipe the leftover cranberry sauce off your face for a minute: you've got the weekend to consider. This one brings a wealth of excellent music to local venues, from post-grunge ambassadors So Pitted to a Redwood Tavern blowout to reggae iconoclast Mykal Rose.

FRIDAY

Zeds Dead
It's the second night of dubstep missionaries Zeds Dead at the Neptune.

So Pitted
Rugged art punks (and new Sub Pop signees) So Pitted play a ripper of an all-ages show at Cairo.

Orange Revival
Mike Nipper says: "Swedish headliners the Orange Revival promise to navigate the thick bog of the sweet shoegaze sounds, early-’90s-style; think Loop and Ride, with a few typical indie-rock riffs tossed in."

Mykal Rose
Iconic reggae singer Mykal Rose headlines with local treasure Clinton Fearon opening things up.

C Average
Brittnie Fuller says: "Olympia/Kill Rock Stars metal warlocks C Average are the ultimate PNW hesh dad-metal band, complete with over-the-top guitar histrionics, guillotine-dropping riffs, and pseudo-Ren Faire lyrics."

SATURDAY

Redwood's 10th Anniversary, Part Two
Celebrate/mourn the storied Redwood Tavern with sets by Dude York, Snuff Redux, Great Spiders, Koda Sequoia.

Archivist
Dave Segal says: "Young Seattle producer/DJ Archivist (aka Alex Markey) creates minimal techno that slyly sneaks up on you. His airy, downcast melodies and 4/4 rhythms stealthily work their charms on you, as anyone who caught his brilliant, gradually evolving 2015 Decibel Festival slot at the Crocodile can attest."

Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Cheesy, over-the-top, Christmastime shredding. An acquired taste, admittedly, but noteworthy--just also note you'd have to drive to Spokane.

SUNDAY

Dave B
Top-notch young Seattle rapper Dave B celebrates the release of his excellent new album Punch Drunk.

JoJo
Pop/R&B survivor Jojo plays Neumos: We just hope she'll sing "Too Little Too Late" and "Leave (Get Out)."
