In addition to the marathon of World Cup soccer at Radio Radio this month, there’s also some amazing music planned. On Saturday, the underground sensations Scream Club will perform. With a feminist manifesto similar to Le Tigre, Scream Club is a DIY phenomenon of epic proportions. With New Wave-y synth-pop sounds, smoke machines and amazing costumes, Scream Club has earned the praise of Yoko Ono, among others. The show starts at 9 p.m. and admission is $6.
