Music

Pictured above are a few of the records DJ Michael Latham will be spinning at Maria's Packaged Goods and Community Feb. 28 from 9 p.m. until close. Latham will dig deep into the post-punk era and explore the music that was created after the Sex Pistols imploded onstage in 1978. Public Image Ltd., Joy Division and Gang of Four will be featured, of course, but so will other chestnuts from labels like 4AD, Rough Trade, Beggar's Banquet and Factory — bands like The Sound, Fad Gadget, Felt, and Eyeless in Gaza. (960 W. 31st Street)

Art and Food

The Empty Bowls Project is a nationwide effort by potters to end hunger. Lillstreet Art Center hosting a sixth annual event March 1 from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. to benefit First Slice. It's a soup and bread-style event, with soups served in bowls donated by ceramic artists that you may take home as a reminder of all the other bowls you will have helped to fill. Bowls are $25 each, and there is no limit to the number of bowls you may purchase. Sales are on a first-come, first-served basis. There will also be a silent auction of artist-crafted items. (4401 N.
