Also Tonight: Get Your Weekend Started Right with Brite Futures at the Mural Amphitheatre

Brite Futures, with Noddy and State of the Artist. The Mural Amphitheatre, 305 Harrison St. 6 p.m. Free! All ages! Some names just need to change, and due to a less-than-sympathetic muse the band formerly known as Natalie Portman's Shaved Head has gone through a process they called "bittersweet" but "necessary" to become Brite Futures. But don't worry; the handclaps, the goofy lyrics, the get-down vibe, the too-catchy melodies--they haven't gone anywhere. And judging by their first single under the new moniker, a spectacular sunshine anthem aptly titled "Dog Eared Summer," the future for this gang is bright indeed. A perfect way to get your sun-filled weekend going (finally, amiright?), tonight's show is part of KEXP's (free) Concerts at the Mural series, hosted by Sharlese Metcalf and joined by one of the Weekly's favorite new local hip-hop acts in State of The Artist--who play a headlining gig at the Columbia City Theater tomorrow night.
