SubPopular: Bruce Pavitt, Calvin Johnson, Sharlese

Don't Miss
Re-bar is best known for its long-running house-music weekly Flammable and radical theater, so it’s somewhat strange that Sub Pop cofounder Bruce Pavitt and K Records boss and Beat Happening/Dub Narcotic Sound System leader Calvin Johnson are DJing the venue’s 30th-anniversary party. No doubt, though, KEXP/False Prophet selector Sharlese will ably hold up the electronic-dance-music end of the celebration while the older gents will put on a Pacific Northwest music history lesson with their deep crates and vast knowledge of our region's indie-rock scenes. This event will be particularly poignant in the wake of the recent death of Michael Tippett, a frequent performer at Re-bar.
