Noise-rap provocateurs Death Grips have led a confoundingly defiant career the past few years: getting dropped from their major-label contract in 2012 after leaking No Love Deep Web, projecting a suicide note in place of performing their 2013 Lollapalooza date, canceling a whole tour without informing promoters, disbanding entirely and then promptly returning to release a double disc, The Powers that B.

Free Fridays, an alluring prospect considering the sizable entry fee ($25 for adults), are best left to the tourists and penny-scraping students; visit the museum when you can hunker down for a while.
