Show Of The Week
The site will be on break all of next week, so I’m rolling out two recommendations today!
1) My radio show, 101X Homegrown, is presenting a gig at The Swan Dive this Friday. Indie poppers Shy Beast (formerly MCG) are throwing a party in celebration of the arrival of their new self titled EP, and they’ll be joined by Fort Never, Slomo Drags, Dossey, and Juan Pablo. This is a rad, diverse local bill. Come play. Tix are $10.
2) This one is actually next week! On Monday (11/20) I highly recommend that you go and see Hazel English at Stubb’s Indoors. Her Just Give In/Never Going Home is a fantastic indie pop album and one of my favorite releases of 2017. I can only imagine that she’ll sound lovely in that room. Tix are $12 in advance of the show, $15 the day of. Julia Lucille will open.
CONTEST: I’ve got guest list spots for both shows to give away! Just send me a note HERE. Be sure to put the name of which show you want in the subject line! I’ll pick a winner for each one on Friday!
