Fairmount Fair, Animal Electric, My Greatest Heist, Capricorn
9 p.m., Little Kings

Party Party Partners presents its penultimate “April is Freedom Week” show, capping off a full month of free concerts featuring local bands. Fairmount Fair is the rapping duo of Jimmy Hughes and Ian Rickert. However, Hughes is on tour with Elf Power, so tonight’s show may be solo performance by Rickert or may feature a special guest emcee. Animal Electric is the local, dreamy folk duo of Tess Brunet and Kat Roman. My Greatest Heist is the lo-fi, experimental, indie vehicle of local musician Wyatt Strother, who plans to release an album, “The Trees Cut Into The Sky,” in May. Capricorn will also perform. - Trisha Klein

10 p.m., Tasty World

The Cool Swap plays rock ‘n’ roll influenced by classic bands like Led Zeppelin and the modern rock of The White Stripes. Local, experimental rock trio Polemic is heavily influenced by Sonic Youth. Lead singer McKenna shows her range by alternately singing prettily and screaming her head off. Turn and Burn will also perform. - Trisha Klein
