#1 Junglepussy, Celeste, Princess Nokia @ The Acheron (SAT 8pm, $10)
MTV just named Junglepussy’s “Nah” as the Ultimate Fall Comedown, so it’s promising that her defensive-yet-intelligent flow (“I seen you eating Micky D’s, know you don’t love yourself / I’m up at Trader Joe’s shopping cart full of health”) is going to catch on real soon. See her, in true BK style, at The Acheron, a mostly metal venue.
