Tuesday Happenings

Extrapolating from the results of our flagrantly unscientific survey, Telepathe's Brooklynite synthpop is likely to please vinyl-hoarding curmudgeons and feckless, Freezepop-consuming youth alike. Bostonist does not know how the pronounce their name or whether their album title, Dance Mother, is meant as a compound noun or a command. Middle East Upstairs, 472 Mass. Ave., Cambridge, 8 pm. $10. (CF)

Residencies

JP's Whitehaus Family music collective continues its residency at Church by inviting some of its pals from out-of-town to join a showcase of gentle tunes. It's folky music that makes up in weirdness what it loses by earnestness. Featuring PA crew John Dean and Tara Toms and locals Gracious Calamity, Chris North, and David Wax Museum. Church of Boston, 69 Kilmarnock St., 7 p.m. Free.

Music Videos

It's sort of weird to Bostonist that we spent large segments of our childhood watching what amounts to bad (or sometimes good) experimental video art, but now that MTV just airs shows about tween drama (or whatever it airs), we miss what we once took for granted. If you are an old person like us, you probably do, too. The Boston Underground Film Festival gives you the chance to quit crying in your beer and do something about it tonight at Make Your Own Damn Music Video, a showcase of independent music videos for bands that, if you are our age, you probably don't like. Savant Project, 1625 Tremont St., 9 p.m. Free.

Wine

Our old friends at the Second Glass magazine return with a Crash Course Wine Seminar highlighting the wines of summer. Can we get a rosé? Wine Gallery, 375 Boylston St., Brookline, 7 p.m. $10.
