Show Recommendations
There is a lot of music happening this week(end), including MEISA’s own awesome acoustic showcase. To top is off, for the first time in ages, I’m actually free to go out there & enjoy it. So I’m pretty much bouncing out of my seat (although it does make typing rather difficult). Let’s go chronologically, shall we?
Wednesday 11.30.2011 - Sounds of Venus Occupy Great Scott
Sounds of Venus is once again playing a pretty stellar lineup, opening up for Ivan & Alyosha and Hey Rosetta! at Great Scott Wednesday night. Sounds of Venus is an alternative rock band composed of five Berklee students who occasionally switch up the instruments they are playing on stage. Lead vocalists Nick Susi and Paige Califano are able to present a wider range of vocals than most other bands in the area, changing between each of them taking the lead and building harmonies - all the while building over undeniably rock guitars and subtle textures, with a steadily building energy drawing you in through their set.

Thursday 12.1.2011 - TMM Issue 26 Drop: Where’s the Band? Featuring Brian Fallon of the Gaslight Anthem and Matthew Pryor of the Get Up Kids
This show is the result of collaboration between some of the most badass groups on campus (no bias towards MEISA or TMM, at alllllll). But, really it’s going to be absolutely insane with both Brian Fallon and Matthew Pyror performing acoustic sets in the relative comforts of afterHOURs. There are only a few things more perfect in life than being serenaded in a small, intimate setting, by the lead signer of an insane band. Tickets are NU only and available now (for FREE). More info available here.
Friday 12.2.2011
One of those nights that really makes me wish I had a time turner, Harry Potter style. There are a lot of awesome shows this night, I will be attending Love In Stockholm’s surprise show at the Lizard Lounge. But City and Colour is playing House of Blues and I know another eboard member mentioned being excited for Tan Vampires at Church.
So with all this going on, how did I chose Love In Stockholm? Well it could be because I am a sucker for any band that has a horns section, the fact that they have a song about Allston, it could be that I didn’t know about this show until last minute (and I didn’t think I would get to see them anytime soon), the promising bike ride that far into Cambridge, or this song. Or it could be all of those, and I am in fact growing into a mature adult that makes informed decisions…
Saturday 12.3.2011 - King Orchid at Great Scott
I always encourage people to go to King Orchid shows. Really, always. Refer to the band of the week article here about why I love them SO MUCH.
