Now that it's officially the weekend, I don't want anybody to get bored. Because bad things happen when you get bored (unplanned pregnancy, spontaneous combustion, etc). So anyways, here's some of those music shows that the kids like so much. Here they are, by genre:
Punk
Who: Face to Face, Strung Out, Cerebral Ballzy, and The Darlings
Where: Paradise Rock Club, Boston
When: 6 pm
How Much?: $20 for advance tickets
Why???: For my money, this is the best show this weekend. Face to Face is a seminal punk/pop-punk group from Southern California, and Strung Out plays their own brand of metal-infused, fast-paced skate punk. Should be a grand old time if you have 20 bucks to shell out. Plus, it's ALL AGES!
Indie Rock
Who: The Shills, Grass is Green, Mrs. Danvers, Julia Easterlin
Where: Middle East Upstairs, Cambridge
When: 8 pm
How Much?: $10 for day of show tickets
Why???: If you're over 18 this could be a fun one. The Shills play an eclectic mix, evoking many genres and bands. If you don't mind a band that's hard to get a read on, genre-wise, then you should enjoy these guys. They're a local group who's been known for their impressive on-stage precision and energy.
Old-School Indie
Who: The Feelies
Where: Middle East Downstairs, Cambridge
When: Two Sets, First at 9:30 pm
How Much?: $20
Why???: The Feelies are a legendary and influential indie rock band that can trace their roots back to 1976. They played their first show since 1991 last year at Battery Park, opening for none other than Sonic Youth. Their music has been cited as an influence by R.E.M., which is pretty hard to argue with. Keep in mind, this one's 18 and up.
