Despite recent surges in population (due to the start of the academic year) and some violent events in the not-too-distant past, Allston has not, in fact, been declared a disaster area (as opposed to New Orleans, shown at right). But these similarities are exactly what makes Boston's own "Rock City" the perfect place to host three nights' worth of benefit shows for Katrina relief and recovery more ›

Reports, The Carlisle Sound, Clickers, and Night Rally are prepared to rock you five ways until Sunday with some jangle, some pop, and a Fugazi influence, natch. Bostonist has heard nothing but good things about Clickers, respects the tenacity (and floppy hair as seen in photo) of newbie band Reports (reportedly playing tonight despite a bloody finger injury!), and has much love for The Carlisle Sound, having snuck into their shows as a twenty year old youngin’. However, Bostonist is most excited for Night Rally. Named after a great Elvis Costello song (c’mon, sing the chorus: “Night! Rally! Night! Rally!” etc.) but owing a lot more to Fugazi and their ilk, Night Rally compromises three dudes from New Mexico going silly with the pedals and the tense musicianship. Fronted by the charismatic Devin King, a man who is bringing back the handlebar mustache and is kind of mesmerizing to watch onstage, Night Rally put on a damm good live show. Bostonist has seen plenty of bands who can play their instruments really well but what does that matter without stage presence. It’s disheartening to see rockers staring at their shoes (memo to Kevin Shields: not you, baby). So hurray to Night Rally and the fact that they are downright committed to entertaining you. Note: despite the indie competition, this show will probably sell out and it’s in your best effort to go early or to buy your ticket now.
