Formerly known as Inksplosion, Little Rock Culture Shock brings together tattoo artists, custom bike makers and all sorts of freaks at the Clear Channel Metroplex for three days, beginning at 6 p.m. tonight, $10-$25.

The regular dance party Cool Shoes returns to Downtown Music with DJs Shawn Lee (electro disco), Ettiem (originals and edits) and Deeter (hip-hop, dancehall and dub), live art by Jason Harrington and special musical guest Bware, who's promoting his debut album, 10 p.m., $5.

The Ted Ludwig Jazz Trio plays the Capital Bar and Grill, 8 p.m., free.

At Cajun's, local rock cover band BushDog headlines, 9 p.m., $5.

The same people who brought us the “Wet Party” at Juanita's return with a Lingerie and Pajama Jam, 10 p.m., $10-$12.

SATURDAY 10/25

Fayetteville-based singer/songwriter Cory Branan, who's got a fairly rabid following here, performs at White Water with Sean Spellman, 9 p.m., $5.

In anticipation of AC/DC's show at Alltel in January, the tribute act Hell's Bells is at Revolution, 8 p.m.

Most of the members of the Munks moonlight in the country-rock band Good Time Ramblers, who play West End Smokehouse, 9 p.m., $5.

At the Afterthought, party band Tragikly White plays the hits, 9 p.m., $7.

In a fund-raiser for Invisible Children, the non-profit that raises funds for the children of war ravaged Northern Uganda, a host of young, local pop and punk acts play Juanita's, including Alert All Arms, the Running Back, Britton Wesson and Maywood Park, 9:30 p.m., $15.

At Cajun's Wharf, Thread does pop hits from the '50s to today, 8:30 p.m., $5.

In the club at Discovery, Platinumb and Justin Sane spin, while Balance holds it down in the lobby, midnight, $10.

Comments

I think Cory's living in Austin now. He's playing Fayetteville's Old Post Office tonight (10 p.m.) before his gig at WWT tomorrow night.
