Forbes Blvd. Details here.
Things To Do at the U Tour.

The Cat Video Fest 2019. Whereas the dog thinks, “These humans feed and house me, they must be god,” the cat thinks, “These humans feed and house me, I must be god.” For those who don’t mind the haughtiness, the Loft Cinema is screening “a fun, frisky and furry celebration of online cat videos.” Perfect for cat fanatics or those hoping to become one. A portion of ticket sales from these screenings will benefit the Hermitage No-Kill Cat Shelter and the HOPE Animal Shelter. 7:30 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, March 6. 3233 E. Speedway Blvd. $10. Details here.
The Bellrays. The punk and soul in the Bellrays’ music work like a chemical reaction: two independent and proficient pieces on their own which explode on contact, creating something wholly different, powerful and volatile. Their instrumentals feature the wailing guitars and driving drums found in a garage rock band, but frontwoman Lisa Kekaula’s dark, soulful vocals color the band into a breed all its own. A look at Kekaula’s favorite albums tells The Bellrays’ story: classic rock acts with even more classic blues influence. Catch The Bellrays at 191 Toole with The Atom Age. 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 6. $12-$15. 191 E. Toole Ave. 21+. Details here. Details here.
Events compiled by Briannon Wilfong, Emily Dieckman, B.S. Eliot and Jeff Gardner.
