Rodfest is held each year to support the Greg "Rodney" Moynahan Memorial Scholarship. Moynahan, a musician who used to host "Rodfests" to celebrate his birthday, died in a car crash in 2004. Kier Byrnes, Moynahan's cousin and a member of Three Day Threshold, has continued the "Rodfest" tradition, and the money goes to Moynahan's alma mater, Stonehill College. Bands this year include Three Day Threshold, Girls Guns & Glory, Rogue Heroes, Cassavetes, and the Bowen Street Band. The Paradise, 8:00 pm.

This week, Phillyist saw the waters of a landmark fountain run red for a Showtime marketing stunt, the Phils pull ahead, and some serious nostalgia. They also got a chance to review an awesome tribute album, reminded folks to see the King and appreciated their beautiful skyline. Chicagoist knows what it's like to like the Cubs. But naming your kid Wrigley Fields? At least they can breathe a little easier now that Grossman's out and...
With visions of sugar plum fairies dancing through their heads, the -Ists began to get into that holiday mood. Well, some did. Austinist wasn't as the NY Times dissed them and a local Tex-Mex institution sold out. Making them feel better was music, sweet music and the local theater getting name checked on "Heroes" Chicagoist tried to wrap their heads around a religious movie being banned from a Christmas themed park. To wash that...
We'll call it hit or miss. Some weeks are totally on and our agenda's are filled to the brim with great stuff.

This week we've collected a number of selections that will bring some sunshine to your gloomy day - or...
For the uninitiated, Kaiju Big Battel is a wrestling league of sorts, in which competitors dressed as imagined Japanese B-movie monsters compete in miniature cityscapes - sort of a live interpretation of Mechagodzilla vs. Godzilla. There is, naturally, an extensive and amusing back story to explain this silliness, involving (of course) a galactic battle between good and evil. Apparently, the evil Dr. Cube and his posse (the "Rogues") are now taking the quest for evil victory beyond the ring, attempting to brainwash the Tufts campus with radio waves and convert students to his evil minions. To combat this, some good guys ("Heroes") have formed (surprise) a rock band that will counteract the radio wave brainwashing. So really it's just a rock show this evening at P.A.'s lounge in Somerville. ("3 Bands, One Cause," says the website. The cause is defeating Dr. Cube and the bands are Z.W.A., Peelander-Z, and Poison Ivy League.) But it promises to be an extremely amusing, absurdist rock show with many weird costumes, and, we imagine, some wrestling.
