Getting Over the Hump

Got $8 bucks in your pocket and a bus transfer that will get you to Allston? Great, see you there. Tonight New York City rockers Bravo Silva play a value added show with local boys The Debutantes (formed right here in Allston in '02) and Oakland's The Cuts and The Time Flys. Call them all hipsters, call them all stoners, doesn't matter what you call them as long as you're listening - the music rocks.

Austinist spotted Bravo Silva (that's Joel Bravo and Henry Silva) when they were down in Texas for SXSW this year. Gothamist has been following the pair around New York, landing them for gigs at Moveable Hype 4 and 5 at the Knitting Factory. Visiting Bravo Silva on MySpace is like eating Mac and Cheese you made from a box – it really never gets old, and every time you do it you wonder why you don't more often. Oh, except Bravo Silva is better for your health and doesn't have that neon orange glow – unless you ask for it. Generally they're just kicking back as truly beautiful people (well, at least that's what Paper Magazine says). Check out a few of the tunes off their album: the Futures and Strawberry Blonde, and a demo track we might see on their next release: The Other Man. If you ask real nice they might even accept you as a MySpace contact.

Tonight at 9 pm, Great Scott - 1222 Commonwealth Ave., Allston
