From Kitsap’s all ages front comes two shows this weekend, two different public soirees with the confluence of all-ages energy where the music is the spectacle, or at least the main event. Different than just a spectacle it’s more like a fury for some and for others a fashionable need.

First on Friday, on Bainbridge Island, Seattleband Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head, Kingston’s The Electric Lemonade Project and Tacoma’s Don’t Tell Sophie will be at the Island Music Guild one-night dance hall. Doors open at 7 p.m., $5 cover.

Then Saturday in Silverdale, Bremerton’s Kane Hodder will be throwing down with Seattle’s Schoolyard Heroes, DEK and Knives in the Attic at the Jackson Grange Hall in Old Town. Show starts at 7 p.m., $8 cover, Oct. 13.

At first listen one might envision a different type of show each night.

Starting off Highway 305, over the hill and through the woods on Bainbridge, the IMG has one of the finest small concert venues around with its sound and space. Built in the early 2000s with a concert hall in mind, it’s surrounded by rehearsal spaces with recording studios in the upper wings.

It’s celebrating its second birthday with the concert series Friday night.

Capacity is reached at under 200, and this affair is bound to be somebody’s dance party.

I haven’t yet been to a Shaved show, but the IMG said that Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head sports coordinated stage dress and brings dance moves. Behind that image, they’ve got some technopop, digital reality tunes.

At the Experience Music Project’s 2007 SoundOff! Battle of the Bands the Head placed second to For Years Blue. But its music seems to carry a carefree feeling bigger than competition. It’s more about having fun.

Much like the Kingston Band, Zeitgeist veterans, Friday’s openers, The Electric Lemonade Project, the duo is an innocent-like late 2000s folk revival with a updated digi-dance style, both male and female vox over guitar and some keys.

They’ll be opening the show and might possibly play a six-string cover of Outkast’s “Hey-ya.”

In the sweet spot, Don’t Tell Sophie carries a light installment of what’s called “well-crafted” rock, reminiscent of Oasis-style alt-rock with more bounce and more electronica.

Then, Saturday at the Jackson Grange Hall!!

Only excessive explanation points could describe the vibe of this upcoming Big Mouth Productions venture.

Kane Hodder is a band whose voice is both blazingly screaming and at other times melodically singing.

Live at the show, it’s dripping with every ounce of energy, a high-tempo fast and slow incentive to go crazy.

Schoolyard Heroes is a Seattle band that has been lifting off since winning the EMP’s SoundOff! Shibby in 2005, they’ve got management and a record label — Stolen Transmission — on which they recently released “Abominations.”

A heavily spiced raucous chronicle of some sort of downfall, laden with uplifting female lyrics of lead singer Ryann Donnelly.

Knives in the Attack singer Christen Shaw also lends a beautiful vocal touch to a darker melancholic soundtrack for the Seattle alternative, punk rock band playing first on the evening Oct. 13.
