My Local Top 3: 7/18/10-7/24/10

Last week was a terrific week for music in Boston. As the summer pushes on, we continue with another week chock full of new tuneage. Check out some shows this week, it's a good week to do it.

Wednesday 7/21 and Thursday 7/22
House of Blues, Boston, MA
Deadmau5

The flatbrimmed candy kids and the European house-lovers have rubbed off their love for drum and bass on the fratty college kids and too-cool high schoolers. Deadmau5, who is definitely a legit DJ if you are into that stuff, will be throwing two massive parties in Boston this week and will be drawing crowds from all over. Tickets are a little pricey, but if you're willing to throw down, bring your friend Molly- she'll love it.


Thursday 7/22
Royale, Boston, MA
Die Antwoord
Sleigh Bells

The hippest of the hipsters will come out in full force for this sold out show. Die Antwoord is a band that quite honestly freaks the hell out of me and I am yet to understand their appeal, but people are going batshit over them and considering it is their first North American tour, they are definitely worth checking out. Sleigh Bells has already proven that they can throw it down. Both these bands in a great new Boston venue is surely reason to catch a show on Thursday.

Thursday 7/22
The Enormous Room, Cambridge, MA
DJ sets by:
The Bodega Girls
Leisure
Gentleman Hall
The Wandas

All of the bands on this bill are solid. While they won't be playing live material, it should be a pretty sweet party with all of these folks spinning the wheels of steel. Upon that, it is sponsored by Supertonic, which is another site that I write for. Looks like Thurdsay night is the night to rage!


Go see some local music this week,
