10/23: Peaches at Paradise

I don’t know about you, but sometimes we like to to get WEIRD and DANCE. This is the show if you want to do that (we wouldn’t judge you if you did that at every show). Peaches is on tour supporting her new album, so show your support and get to the gig.

10/24: Moor Mother Goddess, Blood Club and Thighmaster at a house somewhere don’t tell the cops

Moor Mother Goddess performs some truly electric and powerful hybrid of noise/hip hop/spoken word. It’s honestly very hard to explain, so you need to see her live. She truly puts her all into her performance and touches on topics worth hearing about about like racism, sexism and oppression. She blew us away at Smash it Dead Fest this past June.

10/27: Chance the Rapper at House of Blues

If you missed your chance to see Chance (a ha we got you) at The Sinclair during a crazy week of free Converse shows, you aren’t alone. The young rapper has proven himself powerful among the higher ranks, and House of Blues is a fairly intimate venue for an artist his size. See him before he starts playing all those arenas. Thank goodness Surf finally dropped.

10/28: Joanna Gruesome, Aye Nako, King of Cats and Bent Shapes at Middle East Upstairs

Celebrate Halloween early with a little bit of gruesome! Joanna Gruesome is coming back from the UK, this time featuring two new lead singers. Their sets are always mesmerizing, so don’t want miss this. Aye Nako has put out quite possibly the best EP of 2015 with The Blackest Eye. Topics of transphobia, racism and loneliness fill their music, and they are amazing live. Take our word for it! This is a music blog! Bent Shapes are another Boston band we gush over often, and their jangle pop is filled with smart lyricisms that bring fun to the forefront.
