Things To Do On Monday, August 3.

Smash It Up.

Have you ever realized how much cool shit rubber bands can do? From opening stuck pickle jars and removing stripped screws to carving exploding watermelons, there's quite a bit these versatile little bits of rubber can do.

About the one thing they can't do? Help you sort out your evening's plans. Fortunately, you've got us around for that. — Cory Graves

Sarah Koenig at Winspear Opera House
It's not exactly a 13th episode of Serial, but just one day after delivering the keynote address at Fort Worth's Podcast Movement event, Sarah Koenig will speak to a Dallas crowd, likely mining similar territory. Hey, it beats a shrimp sale at the crab crib. — CG

Hexes at Lola's
Portland grime-wave duo Hexes stops through DFW once again, and unfortunately, the band's sound has us missing Crystal Castles real bad. I suppose instead of sulking about it, we should just head on over to Lola's to ease the pain. Fort Worth's dub narcotic wizards Tidals and Squanto bounce bass-heavy ambiance across the dense space to start things off. — Evan Henry

Bukkake Moms at Rubber Gloves
Bukkake Moms is back from tour. To celebrate their safe return, Denton's favorite cybergoth, no-wave punk quintet is playing a show at Gloves. Locations, Cerulean Giallo and Neil Coburn help mash the estranged aesthetic into some slimy pop soup. It's only a dollar for the night. — EH

Super Smash Bros. at Alamo Drafthouse
What's better than playing Super Smash Bros. on a 40-foot movie screen? Absolutely nothing. Head to The Alamo Drafthouse to kick some Nintendo ass. —Lauren Rushing
