Thursday Happenings

Image of the booth that we used to phone in today's Happenings labeled "bostonist" by Flickr user Behind Dark Eyes.

Tigercity is what the young people in tapered jeans listen to when they want to pretend that they were alive during the early eighties. Compared variously to the Bee Gees, Chic, and Hall & Oates, the Brooklyn act plays throwback dancefloor music that isn't as ironic as you'd expect it to be. Do you have a pair of tapered jeans? Great Scott, 1222 Comm Ave., Allston, 9 p.m.

Dancing Hipsters

Do the young people still like !!!? If not, it's going to be a crowd of old farts tonight in Cambridge. The band with the name you can't Google gets a forever pass from Bostonist for "Me and Giuliani Down By the Schoolyard" because it made us feel like we could dance again, even with our creaking old person bones, just like the children mentioned in the item above. Middle East, 472 Mass. Ave., Cambridge, 8 p.m. $15.

Noisy Hipsters

Some young people do not like to dance. They would rather make a nasty racket instead. Such is the case with JP music collective the Whitehaus, which hosts a noise night, featuring Vic Rawling and Peace, Loving. We're not sure where the show is being held—the Whitehaus Collective does not publicize the location of its White House—but if you see bearded people with bleeding ears, you are probably pretty close. Whitehaus, Jamaica Plain. More information.
