Last chance to see the Madgadders with the kiddos. The ’gadders have an origin story that could come from a Portlandia segment: The band formed as a musical subset of a babysitting co-op in 2002, wanting to create a family rock ’n’ roll experience. Drawing heavily on the Beatles, They Might Be Giants, Schoolhouse Rock and other classics, they’ve also recorded some true originals, including “Thanks for the Spaceship” and “Squid Attack.” Now their kids are grown, and the youngest member, Isaac DeBroux-Slone, fronts his own up-and-coming lo-fi pop group, DISQ. ALSO: 11 am and 1 pm.
