CALENDAR Helen Mirren is appearing at Luckey’s Cigar Club in downtown Eugene. Not really. But New Orlean’s Quintron and Miss Pussycat are playing Luckey’s, and the duo hyped their summer tour stopping off in Eugene with a video that, in a true WTF moment, actually features the revered British actress. Capitalizing on this kind of WTF-style pop culture detritus is what Quintron, along with his wife, vocalist and puppeteer Panacea Pussycat (AKA Miss Pussycat) does best. Often instrumental, German-born Quintron plays the Hammond B3 electric organ and an assortment of invented instruments, creating a mix that’s a little funky Meters, a little surf rock and a little headache-inducing sugary breakfast cereal: like hosing down the slaughterhouse floor of post-1950s American popular culture and collecting what’s left in the drain. You’ll recall The Cramps; you’ll recall Saturday morning cartoons the way they were when you were a kid; you’ll have a sweaty good time; you’ll dance and you just might feel deliciously guilty in the morning. Quintron and Miss Pussycat play with Eugene punk band Chest Cavity 9 pm Wednesday, July 5 at Luckey’s; $5, 21-plus. — Will Kennedy 18 June 29, 2017 • eugeneweekly.com Art & The Vineyard Festival continues.
