MUSIC: TED SABLAY When Las Vegas musician and Killers touring guitarist Ted Sablay opened for the Wallflowers this October, he was issued a challenge: Play what you wish, but play your absolute best. The exercise forced him to tweeze down his usual set, pruning it into a water-tight showcase of hits. Now, Sablay has asked several of the strongest local bands in the city to do the same. Supporting sets from indie R&B singer-songwriter Maejoy and pop vocalist Eli Milan will cozy up the crowd in intimate, 30-minute blocks, while the scrappy rockers of Secos and genre-dabbling quintet Radical West will ratchet up the buzz for Sablay’s closing show. 8 p.m., $15, Backstage Bar & Billiards, seetickets.us. –Amber Sampson

MISC: DOUBLE DOWN SALOON’S 31ST ANNIVERSARY Las Vegas’ most beloved and sweetest-smelling punk rock dive bar celebrates 31 years in business this week. No doubt you feel compelled to head down there this weekend to mark the occasion with a few tasty shots of Ass Juice, as well you should. You’ll enjoy some fine entertainment as you take your dainty sips, pinky raised: Atomic Mayhem, The Psyatics, Mondo Vermin and terrific Japanese band The Heiz are scheduled to play, and if past Double Down anniversary parties are any indication of what you’re in for, the sound will carbonate the blood in your veins, vibrate the paint on the walls and induce you into an involuntary pogo. Put another way, it’ll be a great freaking time—a crazed hootenanny three decades in the making. 10 p.m., free, Double Down Saloon, doubledownsaloon.com. –Geoff Carter
