DJ Williams Projekt at Café Diem
Yet again, we remind you: DJ Williams Projekt isn’t really a DJ’s name. And no, don’t expect to hear the latest break beats pouncing from the speakers when these guys take the stage. With their energetic blend of soul, funk and R&B, the DJ Williams Projekt entertains crowds weekly at Café Diem. Just don’t question the band about the intentional misspelling of their name. Why? Just becuz. Tuesday, Oct. 3, 9 p.m. Free. 353-2500.
Pat O’Brien at Sharky’s

He’s playing weekly at Sharky’s Bar & Billiard, Thursday, Sept. 28, 9:30 p.m. Free. 273-1888.

Pensive at Alley Katz
A little bit of angst never hurt anyone, at least when music’s involved. Don’t believe me? Ask the members of Pensive, A Suffocating Signal, The Half Jeffersons or Self Against City. They’re all playing at Alley Katz Wednesday, so they’ll back me up. OK, we could be wrong about this. We probably are. … We’ll never get this right. Sept. 27, 6-10 p.m. $6. 643-2816. S
