Bit Brigade, DIP, Lazer/Wulf


It’s all about spectacle Friday at the Caledonia, when three intense groups take the stage for an evening of music and mayhem. If you’re the gaming type and you’ve never witnessed a Bit Brigade show, first, how the hell is that possible, and second, put down the PS4 and prepare for a mind-blowing display of Metroid mastery from Noah McCarthy and his backing band of soundtrackers. Rockers Lazer/Wulf will play a skull-pummeling set of intricate prog-metal to kick things off before DIP, the Athens music scene’s improbable princes of controversy, dishes up a hearty serving of gleefully generic posi-rap pageantry. 

10 p.m. $8 (21+), $10 (18–20). caledonialounge.com
