| Support local music, go to a show. |
So successful in October, we’re doing it again! What any self-respecting music lover will tell you is, “you gotta see the live show man.” Spontaneous, interactive, at some points vastly different from the recordings, you can’t have a true opinion about a band until you catch them live. Also cocktails, mingling and sometimes fancy outfits. Here are 4 bands and 1 rockin holiday flea market to see before the end of December.

Middle East Upstairs – Central Square, Cambridge
Loud, dirty, rock 'n' roll, the Middleboro trio is releasing their new record Play Loud, Die. Vol. 1 at the Middle East Upstairs on December 10th, presented by Illegally Blind.
