RI and Machines with Magnets (401.475.2655) presents LADYFEST all weekend, with a couple of dozen bands slated to rock out, including GERTRUDE ATHERTON, LE FOMO, FAT CREEPS, WHORE PAINT, and plenty more. Order advance tix at brownpapertickets.com. Dust off the vintage '30s-era garb and head to the Dorrance on FRIDAY (the 21st) for "THE PERFECT STORM" party in remembrance of the Great Hurricane, with performances by MISS WENSDAY & THE COTILLIONS, THE TROPIGALS, and more; the $25 cover includes a glass of prosecco, two fresh oysters, and "other surprises."
