2016 is finally coming to an end, and there are a few things to look forward to in the next year: Beyonce’s birthday, the Lego Batman movie, and Downbeat Mondays at the Sinclair! In a statement, the Cambridge venue said they would begin hosting Downbeat Mondays, a concert series featuring Matthew Stubbs & The Antiguas. The psych-rock band will remain in residency at the Sinclair, performing with accompaniment from visual projections to enhance the psychedelic experience.
Downbeat Mondays got its start at the Plough and Stars in Cambridge, and its success has earned it a place at the Sinclair, which offers a larger space for bigger projections and audience. Matthew Stubbs & The Antiguas have been nominated for a 2016 Boston Music Award. For those who felt left out of the Sinclair’s Emo Night, these Monday night psych shows fill a niche. The residency series will take place from 10 pm – 1 am in the Sinclair, beginning January 2nd, 2017. The concerts will be free and 21+.
