Firstly, our resident dive bar expert Mike Seely will be signing copies of his Sea-town dive bar guidebook and hosting karaoke at the Sunset Tavern today from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. It’s free, the song selection is top-shelf, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get to see Seel do his famous version of “Purple Rain.” Then, stick around because psychedelic rock band The Curious Mystery, one of my absolute favorite local bands, celebrates the release of their excellent K Records debut, Rotting Slowly. Their show, which also features Lonesome Shack and the Abodox, begins at 10 p.m. and costs $7. For some more information about the record, feel free to check out this thing I wrote.The Deranged Diction show at the Crocodile is on tonight– Jeff Ament has recovered from his scary experience and is ready to rock– and since it’s the legendary punk band’s first show in, oh, just 25 years, you might feel so inclined to check it out (the band is pictured above, in case you are curious what they look like.)There’s also Broken Disco 2.0 tonight at Chop Suey, which starts at 9 p.m. and only costs $7 until 10. After the jump, you can read about Jeff Samuel, who makes an appearance there tonight.In between his rearing in Cleveland and his relocation to Berlin, minimalist jock and producer Jeff Samuel did a stint in our humble gloomsville, where he worked as a sound effects designer in the video game industry. His inner tech-nerd, however, is largely hidden in his tracks, which, despite their bare-bones structures, have a funky bounce and luminescent melody. This is doubtlessly one of the reasons why so many more well-known DJs, from Ricardo Villalobos (who remixed Samuel’s Digital Self EP) to Francois K, spin his cuts when on the circuit. Since releasing his critically-garlanded full-length, Step, in 2006, he has maintained a heavy international touring schedule. The Capitol Hill classic “Broken Disco” event is a perfect spot for the former local’s return. KEVIN CAPPKristeen Young, Killola, Furniture Girls, Switchblade And The Surgeon, Shotty at Studio Seven, 8:30 p.m., $8 adv, $10 dos, all agesTwo years ago, Kristeen Young stood on the stage of the Paramount in heels and a dress made entirely of plastic bubbles, pounding on her keyboard to make distorted melodies pour out and wailing her powerful, unsettling, sexually charged tales like a deranged hybrid of Tori Amos, Siouxsie Sioux, and Polly Jean Harvey while drummer “Baby” Jef White bashed away on his kit to her right. They were opening for Morrissey, who had hand-picked them for a year of touring – an odd combination, but then again, as a master of theater and spectacle, the ex-Smiths singer knew a kindred spirit when he saw one. Several months afterward, Ms. Young was fired from the tour for making what was perceived as an insulting comment about the Moz onstage (she allegedly said something along the lines of: “Morrissey gives good head, I mean, er, cunnilingus.”) That experience seems to have informed her raw, dramatic new album, Music for Strippers, Hookers, and the Odd On-Looker, at least judging by this quote in the album’s press kit: “For the first time in my life, someone was very giving and loving toward me in a very obvious and public way. It softened my heart a bit. And then, when things went the other way, it destroyed me. I’m better and stronger now. But, during the year it took me to recover, I made this record and it represents the arc of that time.” A cover of “Girlfriend in a Coma” probably won’t be happening tonight…
