Saturday:

• 80s Dance Party with DJ Robert Drake at the Queen. Now, normally I would not be touting DJ dance parties.  But this is different, because it's curated by Robert Drake, an all-around awesome XPN guy and 80s music expert.  He does a New Wave show on XPN called Land of the Lost, and is often the voice of reason on internet message boards in the area.  He's a rare big city dweller who manages to be extremely knowledgeable on certain subjects and yet without the whiff of elitism that usually accompanies such types.  So if this guy is DJing a party in Wilmington, I'm all for it.  21+, 9pm, $10. More info.
• Modern Exile, 12 Mile Circle, & The Scenic Route at Mojo Main. 21+, 9pm, $5.
• Nostalgia weekends continues at the TLA with The Bangles and Antigone Rising.  8pm, $32. Ticket link.
