Sat. May 16

The Pixies have been tributized by many? Why not the post-Pixies work of the Charlie Brown-like singer-guitarist Frank Black, who's done some pretty amazing lower-level work under the radar of the big pop machine? A slew of Boston bands, including The Big Disappointments (in photo), Audrey Ryan & Stephen Brodsky and Choo Choo La Rouge are at P.A.’s Lounge Saturday May 16 for "A Tribute to Frank Black!" (Truth be told, Pixies songs will be in the mix too.) It's a 5th Anniversary Benefit for the Nave Gallery - a developing non-profit organization working to establish and manage a multi-purpose arts and cultural center in Somerville.Bands will be performing all night on two stages. It starts at 9:15 with Rococo La Boy and moves on at 9:30 with Ryan Lee Crosby. What happens is each band plays 15 minutes on one stage, then the action shifts to the other stage and back again. Goes to til past midnight - the Big Disappointments, perhaps the best-known band on the bill, cap the night. Tickets: $8.
