Sneak Peek: SAT 1/22

This is not the last you've heard from me! (I hope.)

Utah & Ether, "Probation Vacation": Book Release & Exhibition Reception
at Fourth Wall Project, 132 Brookline Ave, Boston (Fenway)

A pair of graffiti artists a limited edition photography book ($15) featuring 36 pages of their adventures and artwork. I think it will be more than just photos on display.

SAT 1/22

7pm to 10pm
Second Line Social Aid & Pleasure Society Brass Band (8pm), Emperor Norton Stationary Marching Band (9pm)

Two of our awesome horn bands that regularly play HonkFest are heading to a Texas version, and this is a benefit to offset their expenses.

Think about how tough it can be for struggling musicians to travel around the country. Now imagine bands with a lot of people and big, bulky instruments.

Motherboar has a new album out, and it will be a kickass metal/punk party from beginning to end.

The Dirty Truckers, AM Stereo, BrownBoot
at Rosebud Bar & Grill (behind Diner), 381 Summer St, Somerville (Davis Sq)

Every time The Dirty Truckers play, just add a little alcohol for a full-on Stonesy, twangy rockin' party. AM Stereo and BrownBoot will churn things up quite nicely.
