Split/Signal joins big names in art rock, including Mission of Burma's Roger Miller, the Books, and Cul de Sac, into collaboration with weird film and video makers. The visual artists will project silent film, and the art rockers will rock while it screens. Center for the Arts at the Armory, 191 Highland Ave., Somerville, 6 p.m. $25.

Escape From Mom's Basement

Hooked on Who III continues at the Brattle with another Tom Baker classic (The Pyramids of Mars) and a David Tennant story, for the newer school fan. Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St., Cambridge. Tickets and showtimes.

Zombies

How many times a year do people dress up and wander around like zombies? Isn't there another genre of movie that people can impersonate, or are zombie marches the young people's version of Revolutionary War reenactment: something you do every weekend? Starts at South Station, 2 p.m. Free. More information.

Afropop Hipsters

Budos Band, from Staten Island, remains the best of the recent crop of hipsters bent on reviving African pop from the seventies. Budos Band's groove is basically unstoppable. TT the Bear's Place, 10 Brookline St., Cambridge, 8:30 p.m.
