ARTS: JUSTIN FAVELA BOOK SIGNING Justin Favela is an artist who wears many hats. He’s perhaps best known for his piñata-style sculptures and installations like the low rider that graced Nuwu Art Gallery this past spring. Until 2021, he was one-half of the now-inactive Latinos Who Lunch podcast, in which he and art historian Emmanuel Ortega would dish on Latinx representation in art and pop culture. More recently, he has taken up the mantle of author with Fantasía/Fantasy, A Decade of Practice 2011-2021, the artist’s first monograph documenting his formative years. Favela will partake in a conversation and signing for the newsprint book, which features vibrant illustrations by designer Edith Valle, archival photos, essays by Ortega and other culture scholars and interviews with artists, friends and family who have been a part of Favela’s community-centered work. 7 p.m., free, the Writer’s Block, thewritersblock.org. –Shannon Miller

Quavo

PARTY: QUAVO 10:30 p.m., Drai’s Nightclub, draisgroup.com

MUSIC: THE DRUMS Jonny Pierce’s long-running indie-pop project has all the jangling buoyancy of summer. It’s a sprite and snappy kind of sound, perfect for a cloudless, tuneful day that demands a pair of sunshades. That’s The Drums in a nutshell, but if you peek inside, you’ll find density beneath those beats. Pierce masterfully programs his feelings into a danceable, palatable medium, while flashing the listener with a naked snapshot of his true self. “There’s a plastic envelope taped to the wall/Beside my bed/Inside are words that say you love me/Just like my heart, I don’t know if I could ever open it again,” he sings on new single “Plastic Envelope,” the first of several new tracks Pierce has teased ahead of the Drums’ North American tour. With Cold Hart. 7:30 p.m., $28, A-Lot at Area15, area15.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: JIMMY CARPENTER 10 p.m., Sand Dollar Lounge, thesanddollarlv.com.

MUSIC: ROBOTS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD Maximum Doom, a Vegas series conceived and presented by Brian Moy’s Dirty Rock & Roll Dance Party, is a treat for metal variant enthusiasts, and this week’s lineup comprises four psychedelic stoner-metal bands. Headlining is Portland’s awesomely named Robots of the Ancient World, touring behind sophomore release Mystic Goddess. Recorded, mixed and produced in six days back in 2020, the project had potential to really take off had the pandemic not brought the world to a grinding halt, but these Robots can’t be stopped. Their hazy, heavy concoction blends blues-influenced guitar riffage, relaxed percussion and bellowing vocals, and the stylistic range sets it apart from the stoner-rock crowd. Rounding out the bill: Austin’s Cortége, Spokane, Washington’s Merlock and local favorite Sonolith. July 18, 8 p.m., free, the Griffin, eventbrite.com. –Gabriela Rodriguez
