Nietzsche's is going to be crazy psychedelic tonight when Columbus Ohio's The Werks bring their "Galactic Passport Tour" to Buffalo. Purveyors of something called "psychedelic dance rock," The Werks not only jam out, they groove out thanks to a strong and tight rhythm section that keeps things moving, so be prepared to get down while totally zoning out. The triple bill also features local psychedelic freak rockers Slip Madigan and The MKG's, doors open at 9 PM, and tickets are $10.

Depressed by all the Black Friday fake-ness? Head to Allen Street tonight for something genuinely real and honest: the music of two great bands, One World Tribe and Slip Madigan. I've never been to see either perform, but I've heard great things about both from trusted members of the music scene, and their continued appearances on great showbills verify those reputations. Pittsburgh's One World Tribe, who've played since 1994, are as likely to throw down hip hop as they are to spice things up with a Latin groove, and Buffalo's Slip Madigan has a range of influences that are just as diverse.

The show ($8 at the door) goes on at 10:30 p.m. at Nietzsche's, right across the street from where two other great bands, Aqueous and Funktional Flow, will be performing at DBGB. All bands will surely jam late into the night, so those who woke up at 3 a.m. to stand in line at Wal-Mart may get a little tired.
