Freaks Call XI: El Ten Eleven
El Ten Eleven is an instrumental duo from Los Angeles. Armed with only bass, drums and looping pedals, they create surprising music that calls to mind Tortoise, Radiohead, Sigur Ros and, most of all, Night Ranger. Just kidding. But really, audience members at shows can’t believe how much sound is coming from just two guys, and people who listen to the record can’t believe that this music can be reproduced live, perfectly. Friday, February 4. Doors at 6 p.m. Show at 8 p.m. $11. 61 Wythe Avenue, Brooklyn Bowl.

Tastings in Brooklyn
If you’ve yet to try a McClure’s Bloody Mary, or a Pickle Back shot, this Saturday is your chance to discover how a little spicy brine will revolutionize your drinking habit and meet Bob McClure himself, who’ll host two free tastings. Don’t forget to RSVP using the link above! Saturday, February 5. 2 p.m.
