Here are four reasons yo should head to Northern on Sunday to catch a live performance featuring R. Stevie Moore, LAKE and Visiting Nurses.

1. R. Stevie Moore! Moore is the kind of outsider-genius-weirdo-musician that consumes whole websites and books. The son of famed Elvis sideman Bob Moore, R. Stevie Moore has recorded nearly 2,000 songs on more than 400 homemade albums since 1968. Self-releasing on every format imaginable R. Stevie Moore is not only the "lo-fi legend," but a prolific songwriter who has worked in dozens of genres, collaborated with the likes of Ariel Pink and in this late-run of his career has been on magazine covers the world over.

2. LAKE. LAKE are perennial K Records Favorites. It's the type of band that strikes a perfect balance of naivete and pop-sophistication.

3. Visiting Nurses. Visiting Nurses are a collaborative effort from (ex)-members of Congratulations, Broken Water and Mona Reels. If you dig bands such as Big Star and Teenage Fanclub, I am certain you'll dig Visiting Nurses.

4. YOLO. How many times can you see such a great show? Not many, the whole show is all ages, starting at 8 p.m., and is only $7!

NORTHERN, 8 P.M., $7, 414 1/2 LEGION WAY, OLYMPIA
