THIS WEEK IN SHOWS

TUES, JAN 12

Led Er Est, Light Asylum Glasslands 9:00 PM, $7, 21+ Todd Pendu’s throwing a new Tuesday Nite Disco party at Glasslands, but it’s not so much disco as “dark-electro-synth-pop.” If this lineup is any indication, these parties are going to be pretty cool. Both bands are super […]

Free Energy, Diehard, Small Black The Bell House 7:30 PM, $8, 18+ I don’t know how I feel when, on their self-titled track, the lead singer of Free Energy says that he’s “making out with the wind,” but they’ve got a great, if sometimes corny, teenage […]
