Slim's hosts its 13th Annual One Night Stand. Notable favorites and discoverable locals will all gather under one roof for a night of mayhem, though we're not too sure how wild you can get in a crowd of age 6 and up. Our advice: Watch your drink the entire night.

If hip hop and avant rock are your scene, Prefuse 73 is your man. In the past year, he's been asked to remix for TV on the Radio, BLK JKS, Cornelius, Pelican and more. Tune in for a unique blend of prog-rock, “machine funk” and global psychedelia. Gaslamp Killer and VoicesVoices will open.

Who says you can't have it all? Parachute mixes high energy rock with a little bit of soul, R&B and pop, blending musical genres in a fine balance. Citing such diverse influences as Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Journey, Coldplay, Jay-Z and John Mayer, the band's debut album Losing Sleep simultaneously boisterous with songs like "The New Year" and exceptionally introspective with tracks like "She is Love." Come out and give this Charlottesville band a whirl. SafetySuit will open.

Mellow out with Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional. The singer/songwriter will be playing an acoustic show at Slim's. Listen for tracks from the recently released Alter the Ending. Special guest New Found Glory will also play an acoustic set.

There are few things in life as exhilarating as a new album by The Fiery Furnaces. Establishing themselves as one of rock music’s most consistently engaging, exciting and thought-provoking bands, The Fiery Furnaces—made up of core brother-sister duo Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger—are well-versed in creating an album that manages to balance melody, originality and a seemingly endless arsenal of instrumental ideas.

If you missed them opening for Moby, Justice and MGMT, now's your chance to see The Heavy on their own terms. The UK combo is bringing a blend of soul, funk, hard rock, pop and more to Slim's. Groove to the blues as you lose yourself to The House That Dirt Built.
