This cabaret-style pop-rock quintet fronted by a trio of female vocalists is known for its brainy and bawdy blend of wild humor, trashy theatrics, and ironic original songs written from a deliciously ill-bred feminist perspective and often performed a cappella. Its music has been described as a cross between the B-52s, Joni Mitchell, and Parliament Funkadelic. A longtime local favorite, BETTY returns to town for the first time since 2008. 8 p.m., The Ark, 316 S. Main. Tickets $19 in advance at Herb David Guitar Studio and the Michigan Union Ticket Office (mutotix.com), and at the door. To charge by phone, call 763-TKTS. [map]
