This benefit for the Douglas County Toys for Tots, in its third year, is organized by former Lawrence band and current Chicago band the Noise FM. In addition to the Noise boys’ muscular dance-rock, catch Making Movies’ Latin-flavored indie rock, Cowboy Indian Bear’s atmospheric jams, and a dance party courtesy of Team Bear Club. Bring a toy and you get in for $3; otherwise, it’s $6. Note: Toys must be unopened. Don’t be showing up with some janky-ass used stuffed animal.
