"Hills" star to show clothes Apparently, our quaint little club scene still hasn't had its fill of these celebrity nights, where a reality-TV star gets paid big bucks to just hang out. Lauren Conrad is back again, but this time she's actually doing something. "The Hills" star will host a fashion show at 414 Soundbar for her latest women's line. She's touring the country to promote a new social portal website called TheQuad.com, which is dedicated solely to college students. In fact, local college students will be modeling the LC3 line at the club. Soundbar recently remodeled its main room. It now has a warm Asian-accented feel, with indoor pagodas.

9 p.m. Sat. 414 3rd St. N., Mpls. $20. 18 and older. 612-333-0363. 414soundbar.com.

Beer, brats and bands If you haven't been to a Gastro Non Grata event, imagine a wine tasting but much, much cooler. Held at the Triple Rock, this shindig typically features a beer tasting, a food pairing and local bands. This time, Wisconsin's Furthermore brewery will provide the beer samples, and chef Mike Phillips of Craftsman will put on a sausage show -- grinding, casing and grilling in the club. The bands include Hojas Rojas, Tuesday's Robot, the Wapsipinicon and Private Dancer. The night goes like this: Drink, eat, listen, repeat.

6-9:30 p.m. Sun. 629 Cedar Av., Mpls. Free. 21 and older. gastronongrata.blogspot.com.

Cool Clapperclaw A funny name can only get you so far in life. Luckily, the Clapperclaw Music and Arts Festival has some hot acts to back up its goofy name. The art is hip and indie-minded and comes from our local fashion, film and poster-art scenes. Bands include Cecil Otter, Big Quarters, XYZ Affair and Look Book. It all happens at the Sound Gallery (above 414 Soundbar).

4 p.m.-2 a.m. Sat. 414 3rd Av. N., Mpls. $5 advance/ $12 door. clapperclawfestival.com.
