Tuesday Happenings

The Whole Wide World

Lacking the notoriety of some of his Stiff Records counterparts, Wreckless Eric has made up for what he lacks in fame with cult adoration. Not as raw as punk nor as slick as new wave, Wreckless Eric made a choppy, jangly pop that owed a great deal to the Kinks. We make no guarantee that he can still rock out. Performing with his wife and creative partner Amy Rigby. TT the Bear's Place, 10 Brookline St., Cambridge, 9:15 p.m. $10.

Racism on Film

The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936) tells the story of the British army's righteous anger at the murderous and conniving Indians who threaten the blameless Victorian empire. Part of the Brattle's Errol Flynn retrospective. Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St., Cambridge. More information.

Drone

Non-Event's Experimental Coffee House series brings a limited harmonic palate to Boston's drone-starved masses. Tonight, the series features the duo of Geoff Mullen and Keith Fullerton Whitman. Cafe Fixe, 1642 Beacon St., Brookline, 8 p.m. $5. More information.
