Mining the rich social history of the post-World War II era, Tichi outlines the cultural shifts that shaped mid-century cocktail culture. Tiki-inspired drinks, as well as bar staples like the Moscow Mule and Piña Colada, emerged from a unique time of unrest and innovation, and Tichi tells both sides of that story in full. That history will pair well with the gin and tonic and Jack Rose recipes being served up on-site, and a book signing from Tichi will follow suit. 6 p.m., $39, Atomic Motors Classic Cars & Motorcycles, atomicmuseum.vegas. –Amber Sampson

Saturday, NOVEMBER 11

Mareux

Mareux

MUSIC: MAREUX Covers seldom take the spotlight of original recordings, but Mareux’s breakthrough cover track of The Cure’s “The Perfect Girl” proved otherwise in 2021. The song replaces The Cure’s distinct alt-rock sound and utilizes gloomy synths, a throbbing beat and entrancing vocals to take hold of the listener’s ear and unveil a new world. This Los Angeles-born electronic project is the brainchild of producer and vocalist Aryan Ashtiani. He has consistently released music under this stage name for a decade, making darkwave romanticism his forte. Soulful shoegaze outfit Cold Gawd is supporting the night at Triple B with its downtempo gritty sound and simplistic, gut-punching lyricism. Don’t forget to show up early enough to catch local openers Past Self—the trio’s newest album Die Cry Hate is a brilliant concoction of ethereal post-punk, dreamy synths and gothic gloom. 8 p.m., $20-$50, Backstage Bar & Billiards, seetickets.us. –Gabriela Rodriguez

Gims

Gims

MUSIC: GIMS It’ll be worth heading down to the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay just to dance to “Arhbo,” last year’s FIFA World Cup anthem recorded by French-Congolese singer and rapper Gims (with an assist from Ozuna). Those kinds of infectious, energetic beats will build up throughout the night as Gims visits Las Vegas along his current U.S mini-tour, on which he’s already showcased a wide spectrum of hip-hop, R&B and reggaeton with inflections of Afrobeats and Middle Eastern sonics. 7 p.m., $49-$55, House of Blues, concerts.livenation.com. –Brock Radke
