READING: Dan Strachota, SF Weekly music writer and promoter/DJ for Rickshaw Stop's successful "Bardot A Go-Go" (a '60s French pop night), reads at Rebel Reading Series. But he won't talk about music; tonight's theme is "free sex." Oh my. Ellen Sussman, author of Dirty Words: A Literary Encyclopedia Of Sex, and Ben Perez, who wrote The Evil Queen: A Pornolexicology will also read about getting nailed. Read more about it here.

MUSIC: Noted for performing in "a state of unrestrained fervor," pop outfit Girls has a surprise twist: They're mostly guys. Disgusting. They're also noted for being a group that "can't be pigeonholed as a strictly genre band." Which is to say, they're strictly indie-rock. Girls goes on with Ty Segall and Mater/Slave.
