The first of tonight's two shows comes to us from Pinetop Inferno. But I won't need to say much on them, because City Weekly's Randy Harward wrote about them in this week's issue. Read up on that first, then go check them out at Brewski's as they perform with Dan Weldon. Tickets are $5 and the music starts around 9:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, down in Provo, we'll see the latest from RKDN. The alt-pop group out of Provo has been enjoying the notoriety of being one of Provo's better-known bands for roughly three years now. In 2015, they released their first EP, Stone Cold, which received some mild success. RKDN then had a single called "Silver" that got mild national recognition, but after losing a member and becoming a trio, the group scraped all their prior history and refocused their efforts throughout 2016 with a slightly altered sound. Now they're releasing their second EP (which they're calling their debut EP), No More Nightmares, this weekend. You can snag a copy at Velour tonight as they perform with Brogan Kelby and Spirit City. Tickets are $8 and the doors open at 8 p.m. If you miss out on them in Provo, you can try again at Kilby Court on Saturday as they play an SLC release show with Brogan Kelby and Faith Johnson; tickets for that show are $6 and doors open at 7 p.m.
