Vancouverite turntablist Kid Koala brings his unique and endearingly oddball antics to The Abbey tonight, where he'll be playing a headlining set. If you've caught him when he opened for Bjork or Radiohead in recent years, or if you know him from his work with Gorillaz, then you have some idea of the treats in store. If not, here's your chance to see what sets the Kid apart from your average cut-and-scratch DJs. Kevin Franck aka Linus opens. 3420 W. Grace at Elston. Show starts at 9pm. Tickets $15 in advance, $18 at the door.
