SPECIAL EVENT/MUSIC: It's one of the biggest party nights of the year, and if you are going to eat all that turkey, you might as well dance and make room for it tonight. Just some of the cornucopia of offerings tonight include Giant Panda Gorilla Dub Squad's Thanksgiving Eve party at Water Street Music Hall (204 N. Water St., waterstreetmusic.com, 8:30 p.m., $10-$12), Hate Machine's Turkey Bonanza at Montage Music Hall (50 Chestnut St., themontagemusichall.com, $5, 7 p.m., with seven bands running all night), Thanksgiving Eve Fundraiser Bash for Devyn Rose featuring Teressa Wilcox & The Filthy Brothers Blues Band (Lovin' Cup, 300 Park Point Dr., lovincup.com, 7 p.m., $5), Thanksgiving Eve Party with Me & The Boyz (Captain Jack's, 8505 Greig St., Sodus, 9 p.m.), and the Night Before Thanksgiving/Rocket Fuel launch event with Chelsey & Whit at Marge's Lakeside Inn (4909 Culver Road, 7 p.m.).

MUSIC: For years I thought the Good Rats were from Rochester, they played here so much. These Long Island barroom rock 'n' roll underdogs have rocked and rolled forever (since 1964, to be exact).

Daily Choices: What to do on Tuesday, April 30
Music: Whereas Baltimore’s All Time Low has been known to unabashedly wear its collective influences on its collective sleeve, its latest record, “Don’t Panic,” has smoothed out the seams of all the band’s Frankensteined influences. Instead it arrives at its own jagged take on pop-infused punk.
