Mating Season, Anyone?

SINGLES NIGHT
Silver + Gold

Now
that summer is slowly but surely staking its claim, it’s
time to put that pent up Spring fever to good use! Each and every
Tuesday, Clubhouse Jager puts on a hip and sizzlin’ singles night with hot, hot tunes by Jonathan Ackerman,
2-4-1 drink specials, and of course, plenty of beautiful (and
available) people. This weekly dance night is especially special because yours truly
co-hosts along with the lovely ladies of l’etoile. You also don’t want to miss out on a missed connection, so check l’etoile’s nifty text message-based flirting service
the day after to see if anyone noticed you, or post about someone YOU
noticed. If you somehow need more convincing, Clubhouse Jager also boasts THE best outdoor patio in the city, super-cool bartenders, friendly patrons, and of course, perfect cocktails.

10 p.m., Clubhouse Jager, 923 Washington Ave. N., North Loop, Minneapolis; free.


MUSIC
Islands

It’s not often that I am thoroughly charmed by a band after hearing a single song. However, Canadian indie-electro-dream rockers the Islands
are a pure pop delight that I just can’t deny. Tonight, the 7th Street
Entry comes alive with fresh sounds off Islands’ latest release Arms Way, an eclectic and fun must-own of 2008. Awol One and Crayonsmith kick things off the right way.  

6 p.m., 7th Street Entry, 701 1st Ave. N., Downtown Minneapolis; $10.
