American pleasure Club at the Beat Kitchen and more of the best things to do in Chicago this weekend

[Reader Recommends] [American Pleasure Club, formerly Teen Suicide, plays the Beat Kitchen 4/28.]( Courtesy the Artist Friday, April 27 - Sunday, April 29 There are plenty of shows, films, and concerts happening this weekend. Here's some of what we recommend: Fri 4/27: Trombonist [Ryan Keberle]( puts up political resistance on Find the Common, Shine a Light—the latest from his band, Catharsis. According to the Reader's Peter Margasak, it's a prescient protest album from Catharsis, which includes other fantastic musicians. 8:30 PM, Constellation, 3111 N. Western, $15, $12 in advance, 18+ Fri 4/27: Chicago psych band [Post Animal]( soak up rock’s stylistic history on their debut album. The Reader's Leor Galil calls them, " ... a Chicago psych-rock outfit that happens to count Stranger Things actor Joe Keery as a member. If his limited presence in the band (he’s a nontouring guitarist and vocalist) has helped them complete their impressive forthcoming debut, When I Think of You in a Castle (on Polyvinyl—clutch), well, I’m all for it." 9 PM, Lincoln Hall, 2424 N. Western, sold out, 18+ Sat 4/28: [American Pleasure Club]( changed their name but left their heart-wrenching indie-rock intact. They still occasionally play songs from when they were known as Teen Suicide. The Reader's Leor Galil writes, "The woozy 'Sycamore' is filled with loudly echoing hand percussion and vocal melodies that melt as they crawl through the song." 6:30 PM, Beat Kitchen, 2100 W. Belmont, $13, all-ages Sat 4/28: Three women fight back against sexual harassment—1970s style—in [9 to 5 the Musical](. The Reader's Marissa Oberlander was a fan, writing, "The three women eventually band together with a wacky plan to take control of their destinies, and the journey is an alchemic mix of cockeyed optimism, admirable grit, and empowering song-and-dance numbers." 7:30 PM, Sun 3 PM, Den Theatre, 1331 N. Milwaukee, 872-903-3473, firebrandtheatre.org](, $45 Sun 4/29: [Princess Nokia]( embraces her dualities and self-assurance on 1992 Deluxe. The Reader's Rachel Yang says, of the album, "[Destiny] Frasqueri celebrates herself, her multicultural roots, and other women, draping it all in unshakeable self-assurance and vivid detail." 7 PM, Metro, 3730 N. Clark, sold out, all-ages Sun 4/29: Second City's fantastic new E.T.C. revue [Gaslight District]( gets to the bottom of the #fakenews phenomenon by allowing its cast into a "zone of truth"—where all news is real. The Reader's Steve Heisler writes of the show, "It constructs characters who are reeling from the whiplash that comes from trying to determine what's actually true when they're bombarded on all sides with opinions and assholes." 7 PM, Second City E.T.C., 1608 N. Wells, 312-337-3992, [secondcity.com](, $21-$48 [In this week’s issue]( [Home Land, Promised Land, Candy Land]( [Yvette Mayorga’s art depicts Mexican immigrants’ vision of the American dream]( By Kerry Cardoza [Memorial to fascist Balbo stays put]( [MLK mural mystery in Bronzeville]( Trouble reading?
