One of the best music shows of the evening might be happening in a small venue at the back of the Quonset huts on Center Street. Touring rockers Daikaiju will be playing at Backspace Friday night with locals, Witchsister. Admission is $7 at the door. Daikaiju will also be playing on Sunday night at Smoke & Barrel.

Also in music, local band Youth Pastor will be playing on the patio at Kingfish, and some local musicians are getting together to play a tribute to the Strokes at George’s.
