Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters perform at Tango Del Rey Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters, who perform at Tango Del Rey on Aug. 13, are a feast for the eyes and ears. A pairing of Danyavaad, a trio which performs original Middle Eastern-flavored music and the Shimmy Sisters, a belly dance troupe, the combo delivers a show that’s exciting and ever-changing. The Shimmy Sisters are siblings and adept at everything from stilt walking to hoop dancing, with both band and dancers in exotic and colorful costumes. Mix in the virtuoso electric sitar playing of group leader Greg Vaughan, and it all adds up to one of the most entertaining groups in San Diego today. Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters: Friday, Aug. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Tango Del Rey, 3567 Del Rey St. Free. All ages. www.danyavaad.com. — BART MENDOZA Metal Snake performs at Wavehouse Anyone wanting to relive a bit of the ’80s glam metal, or who wants to get a small taste of what it was like, might want to check out Metal Snake, which performs at the Wavehouse on Aug. 13.. From Poison’s “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn” to Ratt’s “Round and Round,” glam metal is littered with anthems, all guilty pleasures custom-made for singing along and now residing in Metal Snake’s repertoire. The band performs in costume for full effect, but what counts is that, at their core, they are a solid rock band that delivers an energetic set worth catching — with or without irony. Metal Snake: Friday, Aug. 13 at 8 p.m. at the Wavehouse, 3125 Oceanfront Walk. Cover TBD. 21 and up. —BART MENDOZA Great Kindness Challenge On Saturday, August 14th, San Diego children will join together for numerous local group activities as they participate in the 3rd annual Great Kindness Challenge.
