• Rachid Taha rocks Algerian punk so hard even Brian Eno and the Rolling Stones are all up on his shit. If he's good enough for Eno and the Stones, he's good enough for you. Bowery Ballroom, 8pm. [flavorpill]
• The Devon Sawa/Jason Schwartzman powerhouse film Slackers (not to be confused with the actually respectable Slacker) is a utter crap. That, however, seems to be the point of this year's Hudson River Park's River Flicks series, which also features such celluloid accomplishments as Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke. Like you wanted to see Citizen Kane anyway. 8:30 at Pier 54. [HRP]
• Former Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando gets a turn on the decks at tonight's Cheeky Bastard party at Hiro. We really like the memo the party organizers wrote to all the 17-year old girls trying to take home 40-year old i-bankers: "Sorry to everyone who couldn't get in (last week) — please remember to bring your I.D. this week." Obviously! [Upcoming]
