Thursday Music âÄî Patches and Gretchen The Varsity 1308 4th St. S.E. 7 p.m. $10-$12 The Minneapolis-based group Patches and Gretchen call themselves an anti-folk band, but we canâÄôt be sure where the line between folk and anti-folk resides. The band is celebrating their CD release this weekend for âÄúSugar Head Pie.âÄù Gretchen SeichristâÄôs pained voice humming alongside simple strumming guitars is reminiscent of Bon IverâÄôs âÄúFlume.âÄù Friday Film âÄî âÄú35 Shots of RumâÄù The Walker Art Center 1750 Hennepin Ave. 7:30 p.m. $8 This poignant French film is a continuation of the WalkerâÄôs Women with Vision film festival.
