It’s Rocktober and we have the rock to make October rock! On Thursday start your weekend off at Toad for some early surf music with the Outta Sites (if you like Los Straitjackets, you need to check this band out) and later you can check out Foxygen at the Paradise. On Friday Marky Ramone’s Blitzkrieg with Andrew W.K. are at the Paradise and there’s a full night of surf music at the Midway with Hang 10/4 Surf Night with The Outta Sites (members of Los Straitjackets), Tsunami of Sound, Surf’s Up Spicoli and The Doug MacDonald Band. Saturday has the legendary band X at the House of Blues and Ben Ottewell of the band Gomez is at Johnny D’s. For a change of pace on Sunday there’s an early evening of words and music from Ray Halliday (from the Buckets), Dave Kress and Guy Capecelatro III at Atwoods and it starts at 4pm. On Monday it’s the return of Americana Mondays in its new home at Pa’s Lounge and Surfer Blood is at the Brighton Music Hall. Tuesday has Islands (remember The Unicorns? yup Nick from Islands used to be in The Unicorns) and Brazos at Great Scott and over at Johnny D’s it’s a surf music night with Igor and the Red Elvises. And on Wednesday night there’s Brian Wilson and Jeff Beck at the Wang Theatre and at TT’s it’s Ewert and the Two Dragons.
