FRI 11/12: Comedy & Music

Oh, yeah. The weekend is upon us and it's a sunny day.

Reminder, I found a $2 admission coupon for the Boston Globe Ski & Snowboard Show that's happening through Sunday.

--------------------------------------------------------------

FRI 11/12

7:30pm to 9:30pm
Anderson Comedy: "The Gas"
at Great Scott, 1222 Comm Ave, Allston
$5

Feat: Niraj Shah, Kristin Seltman, Peter Bowers, Matt Kona, Tim Vargulish, Emma Willman, Meghan O'Keefe

My apologies to anyone who clicks on a previous post with Anderson Comedy's website. It's now the site of a male strip club in New York. Seriously, WTF?

The Facebook page has been way more informative lately, but I have an issue with FB and try not to link there if I can help it.

Nonetheless, these guys still do a weekly comedy show at a relatively early time with a low cover and a bunch of funny people. You can probably have 3 or 4 tallboys, laugh it up, and spend about $20 total. Not bad, right?!

FRI 11/12

9pm
17th Anniversary Party
at Milky Way Lounge/Bella Luna, 284 Amory St, Jamaica Plain (The Brewery Complex)
$3 suggested donation

Feat: Zili Misik

It's a bit sad that the Milky Way/Bella Luna are not celebrating at their original location on Centre Street. The new place may be a better spot for the restaurant half, but I was more a fan of the bar/music club downstairs.

They're still a good community member, so people may like to celebrate with them and the world-music ladies Zili Misik.

"Admission is free, but we are suggesting a $3 donation to raise funds for the Hyde Square Task Force."

FRI 11/12

9pm
"First Annual Teenage Heart Rock n Roll Circus"
at Midway Cafe, 3496 Washington St, Jamaica Plain
$10 / 21+

Feat: The Sprained Ankles, Javier Y Los Dish-Dogs, The Scrapes, The Bad Lieutenants, Jason Bennett & The Resistance

Most of these punk bands are associated with Teenage Heart Records, and they picked a cool-sounding name for the gig. T's going to be a rockin' show. You may want to get there on the early side; because Jason Bennett & The Resistance is definitely one of the highlights, and they have to go on early in the night.

No set schedule? That's a circus! A cheeseburger eating contest by the Boston Extreme Eating Federation? That's a circus! There should also be cheap ($2.50) Narragansetts and whiskey...

FRI 11/12 and SAT 11/13

Various Times
Deep Heaven Now 2
at PA's Lounge, 345 Somerville Ave, Somerville (Union Sq)
at Precinct, 70 Union Sq, Somerville (Union Sq)
$10 / 21+

After laying dormant for a decade or so, the "Deep Heaven Now" moniker was revived in the summer for a day of ambient/psych/shoegaze rock at these two venues. It must have been a good time, because this next one is stretched over 2 days at the same places.

FRI 11/12:

PA's Lounge

8pm -- Mind Yeti
9pm -- Herbcraft
10pm -- Quilt
11pm -- MMOSS
Midnight -- Electric Zeus

Precinct

8:30pm -- Red Skies
9:30pm -- Hadoken
10:30pm -- Transient
11:30pm -- Quiet Loudly
12:30am -- Endless Wave

SAT 11/13

Precinct

3pm -- Second Day Venom
4pm -- Amoroso
5pm -- MMOSS
6pm -- The Crushing Low
7pm -- The Dirty Dishes
8pm -- Brief Candles
9pm -- Roh Delikat
10pm -- The Vandelles
11pm -- Gospel Gossip
12:30am -- 28 Degrees Taurus

PA's Lounge

5:30pm -- Joe Turner & 7 Levels
6:30pm -- Dead Leaf Echo
7:30pm -- Ghost Box Orchestra
8:30pm -- The Sounds of Kaleidoscope
9:30pm -- Bobb Trimble & the Flying Spiders
10:30pm -- Night Fruit
11:15pm -- Screen Vinyl Image
Midnight -- The December Sound

The good news is that a single daily cover charge gets you into both locations, and the schedule is staggered to maximize listening for the ambitious of varying degrees. (PA's and Precinct are only a block away from each other.)

I assume the offer only pertains to tonight, but the "first 50 people to show up will get 2 free beers" (which will probably be Narragansett).

FRI 11/12

10:30pm
Bottomless Pit, Black Helicopter, The Beatings, Wallcreeper
at Middle East - Upstairs, 472 Mass Ave, Cambridge (Central Sq)
$10 / 18+

The doors are opening at 10pm for a late rock show full of heavy, noisy indie-rock. When talking about these bands, references are made to others like Mission of Burma, Sonic Youth, Shellac, etc to give you a quick idea. It's always a good idea to catch The Beatings when you can. Also Chicago's Bottomless Pit includes two members of Silkworm, if that interests you.
