I want you to do something for me. I want you to surf over to YouTube and check out two Uncle Bonsai videos. Chances are you've never heard of the Seattle folk trio, so this'll be your first and second exposure. Their gorgeous harmonies and silly, singular lyrics remind me of Louden Wainwright III, only sweeter. Start with "Boys Want Sex in the Morning," then listen to "Doug at the Gates of Hell." If you didn't LOL at the first song and shed a tear over the second, then I don't get you but at least we're square. If I'm right about your reaction, though, you know what you have to do next, because Uncle Bonsai plays Traditions in Oly this weekend. I love this group!

UNCLE BONSAI, 8 p.m. Traditions Café and World Folk Art, 300 Fifth Ave. SW, Olympia, $15-$20, 360.705.2801
