In the mid ’80s, our cousin Rider liked to call the local radio station in Salmon Arm and request Heart’s hit song “Alone” only to have us sabotage his attempts by yelling obscenities and making rude sounds in the background. We preferred more classic rock tunes from the ’70s like “Barracuda” and “Magic Man.” Years later, we’ve come to appreciate the hair-sprayed era of sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson. Which version will show up when Heart kicks off the PNE Summer Nights concert series? See and hear for yourself when they play Aug. 18, 8 p.m. Free with admission to the fair.

There’s been mountains of praise heaped on Malik Bendjelloul’s moving documentary Searching for Sugar Man. The film tells the story of mysterious Detroit singer-songwriter Rodriguez, who failed to find an American audience in the early ’70s but became a superstar in South Africa when his music resonated with the anti-Apartheid movement. The film opens Aug. 17 at International Village.
To be honest, we don’t know a heck of a lot about electronic duo Teengirl Fantasy, since alarms and sirens starting going off when we searched their name on our highly protected office computer. What we do know is that the hip kids love ’em and they’ll be performing at the Waldorf Aug. 17 with Gatekeeper and James Ferraro. More info at waldorfhotel.com.
World travelling circus sideshow Hellzapoppin flies its freak flag at the Rio Theatre Aug. 19, 9 p.m. for a vaudevillian evening of Swedish sword swallowers, torture kings, contortionists, deadly stunts, broken glass, flames, machetes, rock ‘n’ roll and a cute dog name Mr. Buggles. Info at riotheatre.ca.
