11.16: OK Go/The Cinematics @ Avalon
This Thursday night, the Boston Phoenix is celebrating their 40th anniversary of being one of the country's landmark alternative weeklies, and while there is plenty of obvious reasons to check out this show -- beer, buddies and those treadmill-rocking dudes OK Go, I urge you to show up early. One of the biggest surprises of this year's CMJ was catching a mid-afternoon set from Glasgow's The Cinematics, a band that draws on the best of the current crop of UK dance punk -- The Rakes, Editors, White Rose Movement, etc. The band's Stateside debut is slated for next year, but make it out early to catch them on this very short tour.
