In brief

Inner Jerk vs. Mr. Sparkle

Mr. Sparkle, CW, and Inner Jerk – three rock bands from Harvard’s graduate schools – will battle it out this evening (April 10) at the Big Easy nightclub for one day’s worth of free professional studio time. All proceeds will go directly to fund the Little Kids Rock program in Boston-area schools. A nonprofit music program, Little Kids Rock works to bring music education and appreciation to underfunded school districts. Bands start at 10 p.m. and tickets are $10 at the door.
