Legend has it that when Lightning Bolt played No Space (now Cairo) in 2003, they set up in the middle of the steep section of Summit Avenue out front while a writhing mosh-mob all but engulfed them. Police came and calmly observed; everything was cool, yet no face was left unmelted by their signature staccato berserker. To this day, I’m still aghast at how two men can produce such a stampeding barrage of calamity. It’s akin to watching a fireworks factory combust. Sadly, I bet Neumos makes them play on the stage again—which will be a shame, but still totally worth it. Also—Liturgy’s “transcendental black metal” (based on frontman Hunter Hunt-Hendrix’s complex manifesto of the same name) will similarly rattle your brain with its kinetic whiplash energy. Neumos. 925 E. Pike St., 709-9442, neumos.com. 8 p.m. $15. All ages. WARREN LANGFORDIt only could have been fate that brought us the rocking two-piece Pony Time. Luke Beetham (bass) and Stacy Peck (drums) met in 2009 moving a stereo for a mutual friend. “I saw that Stacy had a strong back, so I was, like, why not offer her a job?” (Beetham owns an electric repair shop). The two became roommates and naturally asked themselves “Why not play music together?” They accidentally became Pony Time. And the rest was disco/garage-rock history. With The Ghost Ease, Mommy Long Legs. The Highline, 210 Broadway E., 328-7837, highlineseattle.net. 9:30. $7 p.m. 21 and over. DIANA M. LE
