Tonight, Empty Space Orchestra enters its third straight week of Friday night shows at the Silver Moon and like the other nights, this show features another rad opener in Boy Eats Drum Machine.

This Portland-based band is comprised solely of Jon Ragel, who spins the turntables, hits  the drums, shreds the guitar and uses other instruments to get the crowd dancing. Don’t get how this works? Take a look at the video below.

The show is at 9pm and is $7 at the door.
