THURSDAY 30

MIC DROP | There’s one person sinfully omitted from the Best Noise Act category of our Portland Music Awards, it’s Crank Sturgeon. That’s because he’s basically already received a lifetime achievement award for being the most inimitable soundmongerer this state has ever seen. Specializing of contact microphones, box harmoniums, and aural transmissions of various lymph, he’s in the realm of Mainers of singular appreciation throughout the world that 99.99 percent of the local pop wouldn’t recognize if he were on the back of a Frosted Flakes box. In these times, aren’t these the folks we need most? See this legend with fellow Portland passionplayers id m theft able, Sterile Garden, and Dan Knudsen. | 8 pm | The Apohadion Theater, 107 Hanover St., Portland | $5-10 sugg. donation
