Denver Band Cook-off Members of Planes Mistaken for Stars and Machine Gun Blues will compete for the best appetizer, entree and dessert at this bizarre but potentially awesome event tonight, with music from Mustangs and Madras, Autokinoton and Landlordland. Three Kings Tavern, 60 S. Broadway. 9 p.m. $5.
Black Lamb
Danzig is not in the band, despite what Evan Dando once thought upon entering the Larimer Lounge and hearing them over the PA. Tonight at the Hi-Dive with the Inconsolable and the Great Flood. 7 S. Broadway. 9 p.m. $6.
Turambar
No hipster irony is needed to appreciate this group’s crushing doom metal. They’ll play tonight at the Larimer Lounge with Deer Creek, Infernal Racket, Brainbow, An Act of Murder and Zombie Hate Brigade. 2721 Larimer St. 9 p.m. $8.
Vonnegut
The Walnut Room hosts this band, which does not include the author of “Breakfast of Champions.” Saturday with the Scene and Glyphic. 3131 Walnut St. 8:30 p.m. $6.
