FRI - MUSIC

If you're like me, you never got a chance to see Murder City Devils before they split up on Halloween 2001. Ever since then, you've been kicking yourself for not witnessing live their raw, frenzied rock power. Now here's your chance, one night only, so don't miss out. Capitol Hill Block Party main stage, 10th Avenue and East Pike Street, www.capitolhillblockparty.com. $12. 9:45 p.m. Sat., July 29. BRIAN J. BARR

SAT–SUN - FESTIVAL

Last year's Ballard SeafoodFest was advertised thusly: "SeafoodFest is about families and friends, clowns and puppets, and generally acting like kids, no matter what your age." But for many, SeafoodFest is about getting blind drunk in the hot sun with impunity, making it the single most enjoyable urban carnival in the free world. Ballard Avenue near Market Street, 206-784-9705, www.seafoodfest.org. Free. Sat., July 29–Sun., July 30. MIKE SEELY
