After a Friday night of feeling really old, Bostonist's friend Jimmy Mac managed to attend a show where he fit right in. Here, according to Jim, is how Ted Leo and the Pharmacists rocked it at the Middle East on Saturday, December 5. Also, Jim doesn't know how to use a camera, so Sean Hafferty kindly let us use some photos he took for our friends at Ryan's Smashing Life. more ›

Lent, what a time to give something up. Over here at Bostonist Headquarters we're thinking hard what we're going to drop come Wednesday. It won't be our MP3 player and it won't be live music.

So since there's no Providencist yet, Bostonist has to tell you about what's going on this Saturday in our fair neighboring city of fun and arts. Get yourself down to Providence because AS220, which is devoted to promoting and encouraging art from music to visuals, is taking over Empire Street and celebrating their 20th anniversary and recent renovations. It's all free, and there will be, in the words of their website:"food, games, music, dancing, art, spoken word, mind-reading, 7-foot blue bunnies, and things that come in 20's!" Reasons why you should go? Free sets from Ted Leo, Mary Timony, Lightning Bolt, and the ever-fantastic Alec K. Redfearn and The Eyesores. There's a Bizzare Bazaar, a Rock N' Roll Yard Sale and arty stuff from people like Scotty The Blue Bunny and The Dirt Palace. Hours are from 1PM to 1AM and the party's going to go strong. Heck yes to art spaces staying strong and thriving and if AS220 has to put a free Ted Leo set on to celebrate it, than who is Bostonist to argue? So many reasons to go down to Providence! more ›
