If brief infectious outbursts of momentary absurdity and screaming vocals laid tight with slightly creepy instrumentations sound like a good time, Bad Canoes playing at Central Plexus tonight can be your outlet. The quartet, consisting of Marissa Paternoster (Screaming Females/Noun), Dawn Riddle (Cat Vet), Christina Centaur, and Kate Illes, dishes out twisted tales in snapshots of musicality. Centaur and Riddle’s persistent bass/drum combinations establish a fluidly haunting setting enhanced by Illes’ ever-lurking keys with Paternoster lyrically providing the details (in her signature tone) that are oddball/humorous and memorable in the best sense. On this night, Central Plexus also features the electronic augmentations of Precolumbian and Rhode Island duo Malportado Kids, whose tropicalia/electro/dance with an angry edge is an attention grabber. Central Plexus, (Please contact one of the acts or venue for more info.), 9pm, All Ages – Michael Colavita
