Harvard Square is hosting the Arts First/Mayfair Festival, while Somerville steps up with a massive collection of Open Studios. Who will win in a battle that pits aesthetes against…more aesthetes? Of course Bostonist will be in both places to observe the battle for best arts fair. Here’s a preview.

Abandon the description and get your tail feather on over to T.T. the Bear's Place tonight and shake it at a show featuring French Kicks. They're headliners now.

French Kicks are in good company; the Walkmen share their label, Guided by Voices (among others) share their producer. That is not to say they sound like those bands, but greatness loves company. The new standard of indie; not punk, not emo, maybe new rock, and good music pushes French Kicks into 2005 on a high note. If there is one good reason to go to Austin, Texas it is South by SouthWest, SXSW as the cool kids call it. The French Kicks jump the New England ship in March to make it down to the annual music festival. Bostonist hopes that they come back with some really cool collaboration that we never expected. For now, you can hear all you want over at TT’s.
