CHAPEL HILL
TENNIS AND THE MENNONITES
WETLANDS–Cartoonish as their name sounds, Tennis and the Mennonites (picture the adventures of the demure religious family learning the backhand … and hilarity ensues) craft emotionally stark love songs. The Chapel Hill group’s Wicked Man EP of last year was a taste of Jerstin Crosby’s quivering vocal style, purposefully screwed up for the delivery of whatever proposed cathartic moment rears itself. Go for the overhead slam at 10 p.m. for $6. Y.O.U. and Dice Fly High open. –Chris Toenes
DAR HE: THE LYNCHING OF EMMETT TILL
DEEP DISH THEATER–One week after Thom Pain bored us with everything a one-man show can’t do, Mike Wiley impresses us with everything this show can, remarkably impersonating a series of people surrounding the 1955 atrocity–including the murderers themselves, who bragged about their deeds to Look magazine. The show runs Thursday through Sunday, June 25. Tickets are $10-$15; call 968-1515. –Byron Woods
