The Capstan Shafts with The Cheniers and The Octagon

Black Cat, 8:30p.m., $8

The musical project of lo-fi mystic Dean Wells, The Capstan Shafts makes its way from Vermont to DC tonight for a rare performance at the Black Cat. Despite an abundant output of recorded material, Wells has only performed his original pop tunes live a few times. This is a can’t miss show.
