Geto Boys

It’s not every rap group who can say they’ve inspired Outkast and Insane Clown Posse, but Bushwick Bill, Scarface, and Willie D can credibly make that claim. The trio helped pioneer the sound of Southern rap in the late ’80s, penning some truly gruesome lyrics in the process. And yes, the ICP connection is legit: Geto Boys appeared at last year’s Gathering of the Juggalos. With Dirtay, Cliff The Sav, Knothead, Aquino, DJ Gerze. El Corazon. 7 p.m. $25 adv./$30 DOS. All ages.

Colin Stetson

True virtuosos are hard to come by in indie rock, which is probably why bass saxophonist Colin Stetson has found work recording with everyone from Sinead O’Connor to TV on the Radio and played extensively in Bon Iver’s touring band. His own music is more challenging—wonky, free jazz saxophone odysseys that sound impossible to be the work of just one person. With Justin Walter. Barboza. 7 p.m. $13 adv.
