Dancing, musical pandas, a play about vaginas, three rock bands and a blues trio will flood DeKalb this weekend.

Tonight at The House Cafe, 263 E. Lincoln Highway, The Dog and Everything will perform at 8 p.m.

“The Dog and Everything has spent years perfecting the recipe for radio friendly pop rock for the college audience,” said John Ugolini, booking agent for Kickstand Productions.

At 10 p.m. Friday, The Beatles cover band American English will play at Otto’s Niteclub, 118 E. Lincoln Highway.

“American English is one of the premiere Beatles tributes in the nation by far,” said Otto’s general manager Jeremy Eisenberg. “They put on a very interesting show. They dress the part and they have costume changes to represent the different eras.”

At 8 p.m. Friday, the Pixel Panda will perform at The House Cafe.

“It’s not often that you get a chance to see a spastic rock band dressed in panda suits,” Ugolini said. “Why would anyone in their right mind not want to witness this band live?”

Saturday at 4 p.m. at The House Cafe, a different type of performance will be presented with The Vagina Monologues.

The Vagina Monologues is an NIU student production based on the episodic play written by Eve Ensler, Ugolini said.

“Ensler originally starred in it, playing all the various women who share their views about their vaginas with the audience,” Ugolini said.

Lucky Boys Confusion comes back to Otto’s at 8 p.m. Saturday.

“Lucky Boys Confusion is a pop rock emo band,” Eisenberg said. “A lot of the kids around here dig them. They usually pull in a few hundred people.”

Saturday night also will bring the Mississippi Blues Band to The Wild Rose Bistro, 850 Pappas Drive. It will perform a show free of charge at 7 p.m.

“We play acoustic delta blues from the 1920s,” said Brian Thornton, associate communication professor. “We recreate the sounds of people like Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton and Skip James. In between songs the group offers a history of the evolution of blues. We let people know that blues is what created rock ‘n’ roll. Old blues is the originator of people like the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton.”
