Aussie Sub Pop Records band Deaf Wish plays an end of summer — in the Northern Hemisphere — show tonight at 7 p.m. at the Outer Space. I usually get annoyed at the lazy comparisons music writers make to Sonic Youth and P.J. Harvey when faced with a female-fronted arty rock band, but in this case it's hard to dispute that Deaf Wish frontwoman Sarah Hardiman sounds like P.J. with a Sister-era Kim Gordon cadence. There, now I am officially a hack but at least I am an honest one. The always fabuloso local Venn diagram-staffed groups CV and The Tweeners open the evening's events. $8.
