Portland’s all-woman comedy festival will be-
come the fi rst comedy festival to live- stream

for her bit about dating women who’ve
decided it’s easier to pretend to be a
lesbian than deal with straight dudes.

tin Luther King Jr. Blvd., alljanecomedy.
com. 7:30 pm. $15.
On their new album, A Deeper Understanding,
The War on Drugs take cues from classic-rock
radio but stretches and swirls those reference
points into transfi xing, kaleidoscopic funnel
clouds of nostalgia. The Schnitz, 1037 SW
Broadway, 503-248-4335, portland5.com/

PORTLAND TANGO
FESTIVAL
What better way to honor the late, great Harry
Dean Stanton than with a movie that’s mostly
about his weathered face? The story of a semi-
mute, estranged father named Travis is full of
lonely LA and West Texas scenery, and Ry
Cooder’s gorgeous slide guitar score. Hol-
lywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy Blvd.,
hollywoodtheatre.org. 7:30 pm. $9.
The longest-running tango festival in America
returns with four nights of sultry Argentin-
ian dancing, including all-night milongas every
damn night. The Norse Hall, 111 NE 11th Ave.,
503-972-3329, portlandtangofest.com. $10-
$35 for individual dances through Sunday.
Get Bus y
On their new album, Relatives in De-
scent, Protomartyr’s ominous post-punk
swaps danceability for dread. But thanks to
singer-ranter Joe Casey’s fuck-it-all attitude,
the whole thing attains an off beat charm. Doug
Fir Lounge, 830 E Burnside St., 503-231-9663,
dougfi rlounge.com. 9 pm. $15. 21+.
