Tattoo You.

If you haven’t already yet, you’ve only got a few days left to download your Vines. The company’s last day is this coming Tuesday, the 17th.

Which really means you can put off that task until Monday, amiright? You’ll want to, anyway, once you see how jam-packed your weekend is going to be otherwise. — Cory Graves

Ladies Choice: Avant, Dru Hill and Jagged Edge at Music Hall at Fair Park
Relive the unforgettable corniness that is ’90s R&B when Avant, Jagged Edge and Dru HIll perform at Music Hall in Fair Park. It’s not Boyz II Men, but it’s close enough. — Paul Wedding

Shadowland at Dallas City Performance Hall
Pilobolus was one of the first to combine the arts of shadow theater and dance. After touring the world over, they’re back in town with a show that promises to be a “mix of shadow theater, dance, circus and concert.” Sounds like a visual wonder, and a lot to take in. — CG

The Inner Gamer/Nerd Sloth Happy Hour at Community Beer Co.
Craft beer nerds and videogame nerds are sometimes the same nerds. If you fall into the center portion of that particular Venn diagram, well, you know where to level up this weekend. — CG

The Bomb Factory’s already hosted a number of fights since its rebirth. This one’s the first for LFA, the joint promotion that formed when Legacy FC and Ressurrection Fighting Alliance merged in the fall. The main card of this event, which will air on AXS TV, features Legacy FC champ Steven “Ocho” Peterson taking on RFA champ Leandro “Pitbull” Higo. One belt to rule them all. — CG

Wayne Hancock (Album Release) at The Live Oak
Comparisons to Hank Williams have dogged Wayne the Train his entire career, and indeed, his vocal stylings are remarkably similar, but he’s never done anything to distance himself from those comparisons, either. In fact, on his latest LP, he even covers Hank’s “Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine.” As always, the neo-traditionalist is on point from top to bottom, dabbling in Texas swing and other classic sub-genres while steel legend Lloyd Maines sits in the producer’s chair. — CG

Lukas Graham at House of Blues
Graham was just in town as part of that star-studded KISS-FM Jingle Ball, which tells me he’s one of the biggest pop artists in the country. But he’s also on Dak Prescott’s iPod, which tells me he’s probably pretty terrible. — CG

Wade Bowen at Billy Bob’s
Wade Bowen recorded his second album live at Billy Bob’s, so it’s no surprise he’s revisiting the world’s largest honky-tonk this weekend. — Diamond Victoria

It kicks off, once again, this weekend, and runs through February 4. — CG

Eraserhead at Texas Theatre
The cult movie sensation that birthed the term “Lynchian” is back in surrealistic 35mm, the way it was always intended to be seen! After the screening, stick around for live performances from Street Sects, Lily Taylor, Poly Starra and DJ Hampton Mills. — Chase Whale

Goodnight Brooklyn screening, Q&A and DJ set at Texas Theatre
On November 22, 2014, Williamsburg warehouse space/DIY venue/recording studio/effects pedal factory Death By Audio hosted its last show when Vice Media rented out the space for its new offices and kicked the DBA folks out. Fortunately, DBA co-founder Matthew Conboy had the good sense to film everything in the space’s final days, generating enough footage for a documentary, Goodnight Brooklyn: The Story of Death By Audio that premiered at last year’s SXSW. The film’s Dallas debut came in June as part of the Oak Cliff Film Festival, with director Conboy in attendance and A Place to Bury Strangers, a band that very much credits its involvement in DBA and its surrounding collective/scene with its current success, performing. This screening won’t feature those folks, but it will have DBA sound engineer Edan Wilber on hand to talk about the good old days and spin a DJ set after the film ends. — CG

Before reuniting in 2015, and shortening its name more recently, hard-rocking supergroup Superjoint Ritual was broken up for the better part of a decade. Frontman Phil Anselmo and Co. are back, along with Battlecross, Child Bite, Warbeast and Driven Below. — DV

John Digweed at It’ll Do Club
Go get wild with one of the planet’s most renowned electronic DJs, the one and only John Digweed. The British house aficionado heats things up at It’ll Do. — DV

Cory Morrow at Granada Theater
Thanks to the help of compatriots of guys like Pat Green, Cory Morrow’s carved out a niche for himself as one of the Texas country scene’s elder statesmen. Tonight he holds court at a venue he’s sold out numerous times over the years. — CG

Sunday

NE-HI, American Wrestlers at Three Links
In the last few years, the Chicago-based garage outfit NE-HI’s exciting take on pop has made it the Windy City’s favorite new band. Their popularity is a contagious sort, too, one that seemingly only grows the farther the band travels from home. American Wrestlers also performs. — Evan Henry

Kim Nall & The Fringe (Album Release) at Dan’s Silverleaf
Nall and her band put a modern and tasteful spin on Americana, while retaining just enough of that old familiar twang. Now that they’ve got a shiny new debut album to promote, we hope they’ll come play Dallas a whole lot more. In the meantime, Claire Morales, Daniel Markham and their respective bands open this Denton show. — CG

WritersResist: Dallas Edition at Bishop Arts Theatre Center
If there was one thing that defined 2016 more than celebrity deaths and Trump’s campaign to make America great again, it was by America embracing protests again. Here, local writers will read historic speeches from people like Sojourner Truth, Cesar Chavez, and Susan B. Anthony, as a reminder of the written word’s power to defend democracy. — CG
