Night Moves: Tom Waits Tribute Night at the Fire

Don't know what to do tonight? Don't worry , we've got you covered.

If, for some crazy reason, you don't like giant bonfires, Swedish hot dogs (that's right, not meatballs, folks) and good times, and therefore won't be attending the Valborgsmässoafton Celebration tonight, there's always the Tom Waits Tribute Night. Which is pretty good, too. Andrew Lipke, Paper Masques, Cheap Dinosaurs, Grimace Federation and about 20 other folks will be singing from Waits' oeuvre, and attempting to replicate a voice that one critic described as "soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months and then taken outside and run over with a car." Yep. Oh yeah, and then swallowed by the smoke monster and spat back out.


Thu., April 30, 9 p.m., $7, Fire, 412 W. Girard Ave., 267-671-9298, iourecords.com.
