Hiss & Chambers The Pill Great Scott, 1222 Commonwealth Ave., Allston 10 p.m., 21+, $7 The Pill website | Hiss & Chambers myspace There's a glam element to Hiss & Chambers, the Portland-based four-piece set to headline The Pill's regular festivities at Great Scott tonight. The sound is indie dance at its strongest, full of the driving beats and tight riffs that feel as if they would motivate the creme de la creme indie kids...

Bostonist Pick: Ballermore Has Arrived .::. Shake 'Em Down @ Milky Way (Thurs) Bostonist has some good news for you: this is going to be an easy weekend on the liver. The bad news is that your two days of drinking, dancing and staying up into the wee New England-established hours begins tonight. There are two main events invading our city on the 4th, and first up is Shake 'Em Down, a dance party...
We feel bad about bringing a flash animation set to music to you for the video today. So we’re going to share with you one of the best performances we’ve seen in a while: Gnarls Barkley on Top of the Pops. Fully YouTubable with fair sound quality – but don’t crank it up, it’ll get a little shady. We’ve been watching this video (mostly for the even more stunning live version of the song) by the Cee-Lo/DJ Dangermouse team for the last week or so. Can’t get enough? Check out their performance at Coachella, where they performed in Wizard of Oz attire. Still not enough? Make plans to visit the Windy City and our friends at Chicagoist for Lollapalooza in August where Gnarls Barkley will perform.
New York's HeadQuarters rocks The Pill tonight with DJs Ken and Terence. HQ has that Jam/Kinks sound and the look to boot. Lead by Charles Wallace, the band has a 20 minute short film broadcasting currently on the Sundance channel entitled American Mod.
And finally, on Sunday, there is The Friends Of Lady K Benefit at Great Scott with USAISAMONSTER. So go out and have fun!
Sunday--end your week with Leslie Hall. She's playing the Milky Way in a super-stacked Truth Serum show with Cassette, Robo Sapien, and PAL. Bostonist wants to see Leslie and the LYs live becaue dang, their myspace page is both intriguing and confusing. Who is this hip hop lady? What are these "gold pants" and "gem sweaters"? Oh man.
Sunday: End the weekend with The Mountain Goats at the Middle East. John Darnielle is a cult hero unparalled, people freak out over him, and the new album is getting estastic reviews. Buy your tickets now, thank Bostonist later. Literate, harrowing, fascinating: all that good stuff.
Secondly, Bostonist has learned about proper behavior. After their sold-out Axis show on Friday night, Mike H., The Bravery's bassist, was aggressive in the line waiting to get into the Brit-pop dance night The Pill--which featured a performance by The Information--at Allston club Great Scott. A couple of sources and some discussion on livejournals and local rock n' roll message boards have it that the belligerent bassist threw a couple of punches and had to be removed by security. But the rest of The Bravery entourage and Great Scott's worked it out and according to (the swell) staff, The Bravery are still welcome at Great Scott. Bostonist is certain that it was an honest mistake. Bostonist is also Sorry 2005 for any bad puns.
