Richmond ZineFest Benefit at Gallery5
Consider this your save-the-date card for the festival of independent, ridiculous, inventive and creatively stapled publications, which comes around in late April. The celebration of the zine (the Stone Age ancestor of the similarly abbreviated blog) should introduce you to some of the people you see talking to themselves at Kinko’s. But it can’t happen without money, so singer-songwriter Liza Kate, experimental number-crunchers Ones and Zeroes, pop family Triple Twins and punk hybrid Mouthbreather are playing a fundraising show Saturday, Feb. 24 at 8 p.m. $5. 644-0005.

Warm in the Wake at Poe’s Pub
No slight to Poe’s, but Atlanta’s Warm in the Wake seems a bit too gentle for a honky-tonk establishment. The band is afloat in guitars, in harmonized “ooohs,” the kind of tunes that conjure visions of two scuffed Converse sneakers playing footsie. But it’s got itself some teeth, like a pedal-steel. Which is what makes it a good fit for Poe’s after all. The show is Wednesday, Feb. 21, at 9:30 p.m. $5. 648-2120.
