Here’s a Boxing Day miracle for you. After you’re done either opening all the presents, arguing with your family or spending the day in peaceful solitude — venture out Friday to a house that will treat you like (cherished) family: The Dining Room.

There you will see a real holy trinity of Central Florida experimental greats: Ironing, No Face and Unfade. Gainesville’s Ironing is a both whimsical and intense force in the noise world collaging old records, tapes and lost radio signals into a careening, joyful whole. No Face is a performance art genius, thankfully back in Florida for a minute, and Unfade, the duo of Dining Room curators Jonas and Rachel, haven’t played together in years.

Enjoy this last gift of the season.

6:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 26, The Dining Room, 2902 Ambergate Road, Winter Park, instagram.com/atthediningroom, donations (mandatory).
