SFist Tonight
-- Judy Butterfield: Gershwin, Porter, Berlin, and more come to life via seventeen-year-old Judy Butterfield. Wait, she's seventeen and headlining at the Plush Room already? We were robo-tripping at that age. Christ, that's amazing. OK then. She sings at 8 p.m. at The Empire Plush Room, 940 Sutter; $25.
-- The Devil Came on Horseback: The U.S. isn't the only country that loves a good rape and murder spree on foreign soils. Take, for example, the other genocide in Darfur. This documentary chronicles the evils happening over there via the eyes of an American. (An aside: really, has the ever been a more useless and trite catchphrase than Never Forget? Be we do. Always.) Film screens at 7:30 pm. at the Roxie Film Center at New College, 3117 - 16th Street; $5-$9.
-- Stompy Jones: Vintage jazz and blues get you naturally high tonight at 9:30 p.m. at the Verdi Club, 2424 Mariposa; $12.
-- MDC (Millions of Dead Cops), Instant Asshole, Jewdriver, and No Thanks: Ow, this dang punk music, it is too loud! And it celebrates the 20th anniversary of the (now dead) Pope's visit to Mission Dolores. Starts tonight at 9 p.m. at Annie's Social Club, 917 Folsom; $8.

If you are going headline the Plush Room at 17, it helps to have rich parents. You didn't think she got there strictly on talent, did you?
umm... wrong, 'guest'.
Judy Butterfield has a track record and a real record (as in CD) behind her already.
Her signature show Judy Sings Judy: Songs of a Young Garland is directed by acclaimed Cabaret Director Clifford Bell and premiered at the famed Empire Plush Room in April 2005. Judy's first CD, Judy Sings Judy: Live at the Empire Plush Room was released by Fynsworth Alley www.fynsworthalley.com in September of 2005. She has performed at the famous Cinegrill at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, at The Gardenia, in San Francisco's tribute to Stephen Sondheim and with the Hillfest Orchestra in Peabody Massachusetts.
