Mellowed Medications
Local group Medications had a well-earned reputation as one of Washington’s most ferocious live acts during the middle part of the last decade. Its performances were full-throttle, sternum-shaking affairs, filled with jagged twists and turns with the grandeur of arena rock and the full-on intensity of punk rock. But some time off and lineup changes have mellowed the band on its new album, “Completely Removed.” There used to be only rare moments when listeners could catch their breath. Now, the songs have more room to breathe, with melodies coming through more clearly but without
sacrificing intensity. // 9 p.m. Thursday. Black Cat, 1811 14th St. NW. 202-667-4490.
www.blackcatdc.com. $10.

What is the patio at Galaxy Hut
all about? Is it different than the previous little alley?
FRITZ HAHN: It’s actually off the alley, behind the building itself, in what used to be the keg storage area out back. One keg, tapped like you’re at a friend’s back- yard cookout, one cooler full of canned beer. The drafts in the alley bar are always differ- ent from what’s available inside, and cans are available inside only occasion- ally.
Galaxy Hut, 2711 Wilson Blvd., Arlington. 703- 525-8646.

The Future Is Now
The NoMa Summer Screen series focuses its third year of outdoor screenings on the future and elements of time. (Think “Donnie Darko” and Woody Allen’s “Sleeper.”) The 12-week movie fest begins Wednesday with the “Star
Wars” spoof “Spaceballs.” // 7 p.m. Wednesdays through July 28. Lot on L Street NE, between Second and Third streets. 202-289-0111. www.

“Shrek Forever After”
This final chapter in the “Shrek” saga is in 3-D. So take your kids to see that feisty ogre one last time … at least until next weekend, when they’ll probably insist on seeing this movie again.
// Opens Friday in area theaters.
