5 Things: Weird Wednesdays at Branded and Indie/Americana/Jazz at Way Station

1. Get weird. Stop by Branded Saloon for Terry Dame's Weird Wednesdays. Host Terry Dame will be trying out some new musical experiments involving a stethoscope, Altoids boxes and a slightly out of control antique horn midi controller! This month's edition will also feature sets by instrument builder musicians Isaac Zal and Ken Butler.

2. Go indie. There's also Pete Buckley + Drum the Jaguar + Ervin Stellar + Joanna Wallfisch and Danny Jonokuchi at The Way Station. While Buckley and Drum the Jaguar both specialize in Indie rock along the lines of The Replacements, Stellar sings Wilco-esque Americana and Wallfisch and Jonokuchi perform jazz vocals. 

3. Go to space. Take a trip to outer space during the Astrophotography Photo Exhibition - The Universe in Color at Grumpy Bert, 82 Bond St. This solo exhibition with renowned Astrophotographer Robert Gendler titled, The Universe in Color, will be on display featuring true color portraits of distant galaxies, nebulae, star systems and other wonders of the universe located many thousands or millions of light years away.

4 .Get political. District Leader Renee Collymore will host City Comptroller and Mayoral Candidate John Liu as the guest speaker at the Parliament Democratic Club, 444 Clinton Ave. at 7 p.m.

5. Don’t move your car! The DOT has suspended alternate side parking rules until March 29.
