Monotonix.

VALLEY OF THE VAPORS
9 p.m., Downtown Hot Springs. $5-$7.
 
The biggest independent music festival in the state kicks off its fourth year in high style.  At 9 p.m. at Maxine’s, the kings of polka-ized pop-rock Brave Combo kick off the festival with Hot Springs’ favorites the Itinerant Locals ($5 and only open to those 21 and older). Meanwhile, at the Low Key Arts Building, the insane Tel Aviv-based three-piece Monotonix kicks out the jams with experimental Canadian four-piece Aids Wolf, NYC punks Fiasco and the experimental Philly act U.S. Girls ($7 and open to all ages).
