Saturday Happenings

Hip Hop

Roxbury OG Edo G and Brooklyn's Masta Ace just released an album together, which is manna from heaven for the right kind of rap fan. Although Masta Ace spent time with Marley Marl's Juice Crew, the two MCs are best known for their mid-90s boom bap, and you can check in person to see if a decade and a half has left any dust on their flows. Performing with Dub Station, Suave, Roxx, Kore, Pale Wryeter, and O-Ry-An. Chuch of Boston, 69 Kilmarnock St., 8 p.m. $12.

Liars

Across the river, it's a different kind of blast from the 90s. Austin's sludge masters Jesus Lizard have gotten on the reunion tip, and Bostonist is worried about what will happen when 49-year-old David Yow gets naked again. Paradise Rock Club, 967 Comm. Ave., 9 p.m.

Gamelan

It's an evening of free gamelan, Javanese style, at Tufts tonight. The Boston Village Gamelan joins Rinengga Sih Tentrem under the direction of Barry Drummond. Granoff Music Center, 20 Talbot Ave., Medford, 8 p.m. Free.
