Druthers: Hiatus Picks the Week’s Best Bets

János Négyesy – Oct. 20, 8 p.m. – Mandeville, FREE

The UCSD music department has far more celebrity going for it than the stairwell you take your friends to when you’re stoned (which, by the way, has been painted white in some sort of annoying artistic statement) and affiliation with ArtPower!

János Négyesy, the department’s own internationally recognized violinist, incorporates interactive live electronics into his solo violin performance, featuring compositions by Georg Hajdu, Kaija Saariaho, Tomas Kessler and Bernard Parmegiani.

Négyesy has premiered brand-new compositions by John Cage and collaborated with such classical namedrops as Pierre Boulez, Morton Feldman and others. (SW)

Kinky – Oct. 22, 8 p.m. – Canes (21+), $15

So in love are Kinky with their new home city of Los Angeles that the Monterrey, Mexico, band has performed twice for free in downtown L.A. to a throbbing crowd of 4,000. That’s an evening serenade of nuclear magnitude.

If you’ve missed these summer performances, fret not! Money can still buy some rockin’ happiness. Marrying electronica, funk-rock, hip-hop and irresistible Latin rhythms, Kinky performs this Sunday at Canes with dance jams and synth beats that will hypnotize even the whitest dancer to cavort with feisty Latin spice.
