NEON THIS WEEK
Equally artful and antagonistic, Shyamalan Otep, who performs under her surname, is one of metal’s most fiercely feminine presences.
Poetic, political and perpetually pissed off, Otep turns the female voice into a roar.
See Otep at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Cheyenne Saloon, 3103 N. Rancho Drive. Tickets are $20; call 645-4139.
