I’m a sucker for cool concert posters.

And tonight’s show at The Horned Hand has a great poster. It’s a black-and-white drawing of a devilish dude — horns, pointy goatee, sinister mustache, but a big smile — looking you right in your eyes, and next to him is what appears to be a cow. Or maybe a goat. I don’t know, but it looks cool.

Devil-dude has an upside-down peace sign on his sleeve, and there’s a bare, jagged tree in the background. Visit The Bulletin’s music blog, Frequency, to see it: www.bendbulletin .com/frequency.

Anyway, to the left of the devil ‘n’ cow/goat are the bands: Local punk-rock legends The Kronk Men, McMinnville-based surf-rock band King Ghidora and also The Religious Rite, a new local band with Horned Hand owner Wesley Ladd on lead acoustic guitar, plus a stoner metal rhythm section of Eric Metzger on bass and Jasper Wasson on drums.

For fans of true, instrumental surf-rock, King Ghidora is a don’t-miss, and not just because we never get true, instrumental surf-rock in Bend. These cats do it right, performing with masks and loading up their Facebook with campy interstellar myth-making. Under “About” they say: “LANDING SPACE SHIP IN HUMAN CITY AND SMALL TOWN TO CONDUCT SONIC SURF ROCK SOUND EXPERIMENT ON WILLING HUMAN TEST SUBJECT!!!!!”

Yeah! That sounds rad. Anyway, imagine The Ventures crossed with Man or Astroman? and you’ll know what planet King Ghidora is from.

King Ghidora, with The Kronk Men and The Religious Rite; 8 tonight; $5; The Horned Hand, 507 N.W. Colorado Ave., Bend; www.facebook .com/thehornedhand.
