Black Friday is a day best known for leftovers and discount shopping, but this year, it also will feature a punk show that commemorates a pivotal recent development for live music in Washington state. On October 25, the Liquor Control Board voted to overturn the state’s curious ban on bands drinking alcoholic beverages on stage, a move that, while hardly ground-breaking, at least puts Washington on equal footing with the rest of the country (it was thought to be the only state with such a ban). Local surf-punk group Atomic Bride will headline a four-band showcase at the Comet to celebrate the ruling, which goes into effect at midnight this Friday. So feel free to drink, maybe even profusely—the bands will be right there with you. With Cali Giraffes, 18 Individual Eyes, TacocaT. ANDREW GOSPE
