Stranger Suggests: A Bonkers Titanic Parody, Poppers-Loving Punk Rockers, and the Crappiest Doughnut in Seattle

WEDNESDAY 3/26  

The Linda Lindas, Be Your Personal Pet

(MUSIC) The Stranger’s social media supervisor, Christian Parroco, was there the evening cat-loving and racist boy-hating punk band the Linda Lindas opened for style legends Rancid and Inexperienced Day. The Linda Lindas have been enamored by the gang of hundreds regardless of performing in probably the most unpunk circumstances, on Inexperienced Day’s world-tour-sized stage, yards away from the barricaded entrance row of followers in the course of a Main League Baseball discipline. They have been “unapologetically fierce, mixing their recent tackle punk with a DIY perspective that calls again to the style’s early days,” wrote Parrocco in his assessment. If they’ll get a complete stadium vibing off their pop-kissed punk gems like “Racist, Sexist Boy” and “All in My Head,” think about how a lot enjoyable it will likely be to mosh and sing and dance and scream alongside within the a lot smaller Showbox. And don’t fear, openers Be Your Personal Pet, fronted by vocalist Jemina Pearl, open the present, and Pearl offers Karen O a run for her cash on the vitality scale. They’ll assist you stretch all of your thrashy dance muscle groups so that you don’t pull something within the pit. (Showbox, 8 pm, all ages) MEGAN SELING

THURSDAY 3/27  

Amyl and the Sniffers, Sheer Magazine

(MUSIC) On their third album, Cartoon Darkness, the Aussie quartet opens with commanding, bratty lyrics: “You’re a dumb cunt.” The brash, critic-hating anthem “Jerkin’” units the tone for the album, which explores trendy terrors like local weather change, struggle, A.I., and web politics by pithy confrontational punk and onerous rock (à la X-Ray Spex or the Runaways). Recent off of a stadium tour supporting the Foo Fighters, the band will drop by the Paramount Theatre with tracks from the album. (Paramount Theatre, 8 pm, all ages) AUDREY VANN

FRIDAY 3/28  

Dynasty Purse: Titanic Melancholy

(PERFORMANCE) I caught Dynasty Purse (aka award-winning performer, visible artist, and producer Jibz Cameron) at one in every of her month-to-month Weirdo Nights in Los Angeles a number of years again, and it was one of many surreally funniest issues I’ve ever seen, and that’s saying one thing (humble brag). Dynasty Purse is a sight to behold. Her reveals typically function drastic make-up (suppose microwaved Tammy Faye Bakker), a fright wig, and not less than one ghastly unitard alternative. You might come for the piled-on camp and bodily comedy, however do keep for the deceptively sensible timing and writing. Titanic Melancholy is described by way of her web site as: “A bonkers parody of James Cameron’s 1997 Hollywood hit, sending it up as a bleak parable of human vanity in right now’s period of runaway, consumerism-driven local weather change.” I’ve a sinking feeling it’s going to be nice.

SATURDAY 3/29  

Alton Brown

(FOOD) Are you standard, or was bonding time along with your sibling watching episodes of Alton Brown’s present Good Eats collectively? His aversion to “unitaskers” and use of yeast puppets belching CO2 to clarify bread-making stay rent-free in my head. Within the promo video for this “farewell tour” of his food-filled selection present, folks in hazmat fits wheel a mannequin of a cow out of a smoke-filled warehouse as Brown guarantees comedy, music, science, and “an epic but probably harmful culinary demonstration.” (Paramount Theatre, 2:30 pm & 7:30 pm) SHANNON LUBETICH

How Did This Get Made?

(PODCASTS) For 15 superb years, actor-comedians Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas have been gleefully choosing aside horrible motion pictures for his or her podcast How Did This Get Made? with a particular visitor readily available. (Their excoriation of the weird musical The Apple with Andy Richter is one for the ages.) And, as with all good podcasts, they’ve taken it from the studio to the stage with stay episodes recorded across the US. The movie they’re going to be dissecting throughout Sunday’s taping Surf II should you wish to watch earlier than the present. (Paramount Theatre, 8 pm, all ages) ROBERT HAM

TUESDAY 4/1  

Mighty-O Dookie Donuts

(FOOD) I’ve come to detest April Idiot’s Day. Idiots on social media make pretend being pregnant or divorce claims and #manufacturers idiot information retailers into sharing bullshit press releases about nonexistent merchandise like Butterfinger mayonnaise. The world is already full of faux information! Influencers are continuously being outed as con artists or worse. Taco Bell’s Mountain Dew Baja Blast pie is actual. Day by day is Idiot’s Day in America. Fortunately Mighty-O Donuts nonetheless understands basic April Idiot’s Day enjoyable. For years now, they’ve celebrated April 1 with deliciously disgusting poop donuts, their unbelievable (and vegan!) yeast-raised donut swirled right into a cute little, uh, pile, and lined with wealthy chocolate glaze. So gross! So humorous! I promise your pals will recognize these little shits a lot greater than no matter dumb social media rip-off you’ve got been considering.
