Barry Gibb comes to town this week. Luckily, you’re not a middle aged man and don’t have any old bell bottoms to dust off. Instead, there are some fine rock options all over town to weigh. More
Lots of big tickets rolling through town this week, which makes you wonder if Boston is becoming one of those cities where bands don’t want to waste a weekend night on us, so they tour through here on Mondays and Tuesdays instead. No hope in stressing it I guess. If anything, it’s just more of an excuse to party in the middle of the week. More
We’re into April, folks. And you know what that means: another month to wade through until the weather actually gets nice. Luckily, there’s a solid crop of shows to help kick it off, whether you’re jamming to the experimental sounds of New England Patriots, or vibing to the cloud rap of Denzel Curry. More
When New Hampshire-born Will Sheff, frontman of veteran folk rockers Okkervil River, returns to Boston to play The Sinclair on Saturday, he’ll once again be performing in a mid-size venue to fans, relatives and old friends. This time, though, he’s returning to New England in support of an album inspired by his hometown, Meriden, New Hampshire, and his youth. “The Silver Gymnasium,” a nostalgic autobiography of a ten year-old Sheff in 1986, continues Okkervil River’s legacy as introspective, niche, career musicians. If Okkervil River don’t ever break mainstream — and if Sheff has a say, they may not want to — this album does put the frontman’s small town on the map. More
Everything’s coming up Boston right now. Between Spring (hopefully) being on its way, and the T staying open late at night, things are beginning to act in our favor, music fans/people who like fun/people who are interested in having good times. If you’re looking for some music to see this weekend, here’s the best of who is playing:

A few months ago, we pondered how Juicy J can keep reinventing himself and stay relevant. Now you can see the man himself. Or if rap isn’t your game, get moving with Glitch Mob or get weird with Xiu Xiu. Here’s what’s happening this week. More
In the genre of hip-hop, perhaps more so than in any other type of music, it’s almost standard practice for artists to come and go overnight. The “Lamborghini dreams and beach house wishes” that Wiz Khalifa rapped about in 2009 have hooked countless aspiring emcees, but more often that not, the attraction rapidly morphs into distraction and the dreams are never realized – not even at Acura and apartment level, forget Lambos and beach houses. In order to make a career out of music, longevity needs to be the goal, yet most up-and-coming rappers fail to recognize this. They’ll subconsciously sacrifice a foundation for 15 minutes of fame and be dumfounded when their one hit song they poured everything into grows stale. Luckily, Dom Kennedy, who comes to the Middle East Downstairs Saturday night, is not most rappers. More
It’s been over three years since reigning kings of oddball psychedelic pop MGMT last made its way to Boston, but the band returns Thursday night with an Orpheum Theatre show that promises to be an ambitious, freaky good time. More
![Active Child - Johnny Belinda [Official Video]](http://bdcwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Active-Child-Johnny-Belinda-Official-Video-300x168.jpg)
Stylistically speaking, there is currently no artist that remotely sounds like Active Child, which is kind of surprising since the New Jersey native (real name Pat Grossi) pays homage to those who ignited his love for music on seemingly every song he’s ever written. But there are certainly others mining the past to mix with the present, like Toro Y Moi’s Chaz Bundick, Twin Shadow’s George Lewis Jr., and How To Dress Well’s Tom Krell. So where is Grossi’s place in the movement? Before his show tonight at Brighton Music Hall, we find out. More
