Fubar held it down for The 600 Block way before faux-boho and the difficult decision between cupcakes, sushi or poké bowls was a weekly occurrence. On Friday, the dirty-clean rock and roll club celebrates nine years of bull-headed originality by staging a show featuring the kind of homegrown, authentic talent it’s been booking for nearly a decade now. As the last few years have taught Bay area music fans, no venue should be taken for granted, and you’ll definitely miss Fubar if it eventually folds under the pressure of rising rents.

Fubar 9th Anniversary w/Mosquito Teeth/Pig Pen/Acoupstix/ShadowRun Brothers. Fri. Oct. 5, 9 p.m. No cover. Fubar, 658 Central Ave., St. Petersburg. INFO.
