DJ: The rescheduled “Prince vs. Madonna vs. Michael Jackson” dance night hosted by, who else, DJ Dredd, is on for tonight at the 9:30 Club. $15, 9 p.m.

The monthly “Brazilian Rhythms” night featuring DJ Neville C at Cafe Saint-Ex takes on a Rio-style Carnival theme tonight (albeit a couple days late), featuring plenty of samba, bossa, tropicalia and baile funk tunes to get your groove going, plus $5 caipirinhas all night long. No cover, 10 p.m.

MUSIC: Sweden’s legendary ’60s-inspired space rockers The Soundtrack of Our Lives are in town tonight, playing, where else, the House of Sweden. That’s an early show set to start promptly at 7 p.m. ($15), because the band has to be able to get across town to the Black Cat in time for its later set, featuring opener Nico Vega (doors at 8 p.m., $15).

MOVIE: The AFI Silver’s Jean Arthur retrospective offers up a fun glimpse of Washington life in the late 1930s tonight. The More the Merrier is a comedy starring Arthur as a young office worker in D.C. in search of a female roommate to help pay the bills, but who instead ends up with a charming millionaire (Charles Coburn) who starts meddling in her love life. If only more Craigslist roommate ads turned up charming millionaires, right ladies? 7 p.m.
