Crystal Method

Dig out your glow sticks. The Crystal Method plays Sonar tonight. The Los Angeles-based electronic music duo survived the '90s (and a Gap ad campaign), and they're still touring the club scene.

Ska veterans

U.K.'s ska superstars the English Beat come to the Recher Theatre Sunday. (You remember them from listening to college radio.) The group split up in the early '80s but is now back together and touring again.

Tickets are $20. Doors open at 7 p.m. Sunday. The Recher Theatre is at 512 York Road in Towson. Call 410-337-7178 or visit www.rechertheatre.com.

Tattoos and kickball

Show off your ink Sunday at the Baltimore Tattoo Museum's 6th annual Kickball Barbeque. Who will be there? "People who like tattoos and people who have lots of tattoos," said Chris Keaton, a co-owner of the museum. People will hang out, play kickball, put on lots of sunscreen and barbecue.

The barbecue is noon-sundown Sunday in Riverside Park. The park is one block south of Fort Avenue in South Baltimore. Call 410-522-5800.
