If you’re a diehard fan who has the lyrics to “Punk Rock Girl” and “Bitchin’ Camaro” stuck in your brain, then you’re likely looking forward to seeing The Dead Milkmen play Riot Fest on Saturday. But before then, you have the chance to catch their frontman Joe Jack Talcum performing a super rare performance at Fiume tonight. DIY booker Spazz (Jeff Blinder from Danger Danger Gallery and Greenville, North Carolina’s Spazzatorium) has been able to put together an intimate singer songwriter series at the tiny bar of wonders. The showcase will also feature Erik Petersen of Mischief Brew, who has most recently been performing out in support of the band’s latest album The Stone Operation. Also on tap to perform is the former frontman of Sunbrain, Dave Dondero, an artist whom NPR has dubbed one of the “best living songwriters”. Get there early because the capacity is super limited! Fiume (Upstairs), 229 S. 45th St., 9pm, $8, 21+ – Bill McThrill
