Tonight, Schoolyard Heroes celebrate the release of
Abominations, their fantastically morbid and exciting third full-length record. The usually raucous Heroes will perform their
songs acoustically, and they sound shockingly good that way. The
record will be for sale ($8.99—cheap!) immediately following the
set. When they did this for 2005’s Fantastic Wounds, there was
barely room left in the store, so show up early. (Sonic Boom
Records, 2209 NW Market St, 297-2666. 11 pm, free, all ages.)
