• MUSIC AND NIGHTLIFE: Intriguing three at Bayside Bowl
Bayside Bowl on Friday can’t be summed up easily, but we’re going to try anyway: Thee Ice Picks, surf music with capes, masks and a theremin; Emperor Napolean and The Visions of Ecstasy, who have been called “bigger than ‘Glee’ and ‘High School Musical’ ”; and Daikaiju, surf-billy explosion. That’s what we know. Good luck.
