My, what a busy week! Especially if you want new CDs. Allston dreamscapers
SANGUINE DRONE
will release their debut this Thursday, June 19, at O’Brien’s accompanied by
EKRANOPLAN
,
28 DEGREES TAURUS
, and the
CRUSHING LOW
;
CHAD PERRONE
of anthemic dahlings
AVERI
releases his first solo outing on Friday at the Paradise, joined by
TIM BLAINE
and
CAHILL
; and on Saturday you can choose between
EKSI EKSO
’s release show at the Paradise with
CASPIAN
,
HOORAY FOR EARTH
, and
DJ DIE YOUNG
and
KETMAN
’s blowout at the Middle East with
HO-AG
,
AMOROSO
, and special guests. Either way, you’ll emerge a local-rock winner. . . . If you’re more interested in what’s old than what’s new, may we suggest the two-day 15th-birthday celebration of Porter Square’s singer/songwriter outpost
TOAD
? Club years are like dog years, so the fact that this beloved joint has made it 15 whole years without getting all leaky and lazy is quite a feat. Ring in its adolescence with performances by
RICK BERLIN
, the
LOW ANTHEM
, the
FAMILY JEWELS
, the
DENNIS BRENNAN BAND
, and
CHRISTIAN McNEILL AND THE REDEEMERS
on Saturday and
LORI McKENNA
,
TODD THIBEAU AND SEAN STAPLES
, the
HEYGOODS
,
TOM BIANCHI AND FRIENDS
,
SESSION AMERICANA
, and
TIM GEARAN
on Sunday. Your 15th-birthday party completely sucked in comparison.
