The Vandals: Freaky humor has always been a staple of the Vandals' fast-paced, super-scorching punk sound. These Southern California punks did, after all, name their last album Live Fast Diarrhea. Now they return with The Quickening (on Nitro Records), a fifteen-track collection of bouncing-off-the-wall tunes whose lyrics boast weird and wacky predictions of the Apocalypse. Tonight the band vandalizes Cheers (2490 SW Seventeenth Ave.) with Assorted Jelly Beans and the Strap-Ons. Admission to this all-ages show is six dollars. Showtime is 8:00. Call 857-0041.
