Information Crush: Amy's Show List


Doing my best to get this posted early before the holiday so here goes...


On Wednesday Bad Art is at the Plough for their regular gig and buzz band Fuck Buttons is at Great Scotts. On Thursday, no rocking but eat, drink and be thankful for there's rock on the weekend. On Friday and Saturday The Pixies are at the Citi Performing Arts Center aka the Wang. I'm sad I don't have tix but oh well. Also on Friday Bryan Scary & the Shredding Tears and the Black Hollies are at TTs and Roy Sludge and Friends will be at the Plough (fun!). Saturday has Andrea Gillis at the Plough and Sam Reid and the Riot Act is at Atwoods, but I'm kinda leaning to seeing Brownboot at the Rosebud, it seems like a good opportunity to check out a live show there. On Sunday The Wilbur has the Mountain Goats, not certain if tix are still available. Monday has a couple of cool options, Elvis Perkins in Deerland is at the Paradise (he's a great performer) or go to the Independent in Somerville to hear Br. Cleve spin country drinking songs and have some special country cocktails, yee haw! And if you're on the South Shore on Wednesday head over to the Borders Bookstore in Braintree at 6p. Yea, there'll lots of kiddos there cause They Might Be Giants are promoting a new kid's thing but TMBG are so much fun live it might just be worth it.
