10 Great Things to do in RI This Weekend - October 11, 2019

Vundabar, & The Kids, Boyscott at Columbus Theater
The Columbus Cooperative proudly presents Vundabar, And The Kids and Boyscott.
Vundabar's 'Smell Smoke', the band's anticipated 2018 follow up to their breakout 2015 album 'Gawk,' is an attempt at openness and vulnerability. It's an attempt at unlearning. It's a document of grief; a child crying into the dark.
And The Kids channel existential crises into pop euphoria. With this sleight of hand, the quartet manages to conjure chunky indie rock, blissful new wave, chamber folk, jarring avant-garde, and brawny classic rock.
The concert begins at 7 p.m.
