Druggist CD Release Party w. Yoshimoto & Blue Means Go

Scenesters have been eagerly anticipating the release show for Druggist’s third album, The Pile On (see review, page 42), ever since the band rocked the roof off ArtPace in October — and for good reason. Blake Cormier and Zach Dunlap ooze rock-star power, shunning conventional rock formulas in favor of their weirder impulses, yet never lose their way. Artist Richie Budd will control strobe lights and bubble and fog machines in usual fashion, guaranteeing a magical, smoke-filled LSD fantasy. $5, 10pm, Limelight, 2718 N. St. Mary’s, (210) 735-7775.
