3. Native at Golden West Cafe

Where/When:

Golden West Cafe, 1105 W. 36th St., Friday, 10 p.m.

Why Go:

Native, an Indiana-bred post-punk quartet, plays one of North Baltimore's most intimate concert settings. Native's sound is jangly arpeggio guitars mixed with an aggressive but slightly off-kilter rhythm section and growling punk vocals. If you enjoy bands like Fugazi or Q and Not U, this should make for an entertaining show from an up-and-coming band.

Pricing:

$8

Homewood Field on Johns Hopkins Homewood Campus, Saturday, 1 p.m.

Why Go:

A big early matchup in Division I men's lacrosse as the Blue Jays take on the Princeton Tigers. This will be the 81st meeting between these two storied programs.
