Paurl Walsh (X-Ray Press, Degenerate Art) and Max Stein (Wild Ones, PWRHAUS) joined forces to create the pretty robot rock that is Rainbows. I imagine the local band’s origin story involves Walsh and Stein pillaging Value Village for children’s drum-machine toys to build their kit, coveting ones with dying batteries for that extra added warble. Sprinkle in some humorous song titles (“Gnar Gnar Binks,” “Hungry Hungry Hemoglobin”) and you’ve got magic. With Hautahuah, Noonmoon. Vermillion, 1508 11th Ave., 709-9797, vermillionseattle.com. 7:30 p.m. Donation. 21 and over. DIANA M. LEIn third grade, my “girlfriend” brought a New Kids on the Block doll to school, and I remember becoming very, very jealous of it. I thought I was over it until I reached my teenage goth phase and saw the “You Got It (The Right Stuff)” music video. In the clip, singer Jordan Knight is wearing the sickest, gothiest Bauhaus shirt I’d ever seen. I’m still brooding with envy. Only New Kids on the Block can reawaken third-grade jealousies and make them linger into adulthood. With TLC and Nelly. Tacoma Dome, 2727 E. D St., Tacoma, tacomadome.org. 7 p.m. $55–$160 (children under 2 get in free). All ages. WARREN LANGFORDGaytheist’s music video for “Stomach Pains” is LOL-tra funny, maybe the funniest I’ve seen in years (teaser: It involves the band playing inside a man’s gut). These guys pack an unmatched hardcore fury. Co-headliner Baby Gurl employs samples of tweeting birds and adult men crying like infants intermittently betwixt walls of punk cacophony. It’s nothing but fun—maybe not of the “good” or remotely “clean” variety, but fun will be had, dammit. Narwhal, 118 E. Pike St., 325-6492, unicornseattle.com. 9 p.m. $6. 21 and over. WL
