Boo Scary and a Happy Halloween to you. The good thing about Halloween on a Thursday is that the next weekend is also part of the Halloween festivities. What better way to spend Halloween than with The Misfits at the Wilbur Theatre? Also happening on Thursday is another cool Halloween show with AJDIO, The Satanics, Aquanutz and Slim Lizzy at the Middle East Upstairs. On Friday night Stupidity, Andrea Gillis Band, Downbeat 5 and Frank Morey Band are at the Lizard Lounge and at Sally O’Brien’s there’s Tsunami of Sound, The Weisstronauts and The Beachcombovers for a night of surf music. Saturday night has The Dismemberment Plan bringing the rock to the Paradise and The Cordobas will be hanging 10 at the Plough and Stars. On Sunday The Dickies are at the Middle East Upstairs and their cover of the Banana Splits theme always makes me smile. On Monday lo-fi rockers Sebadoh is at the Sinclair and Colin Meloy of The Decemberists is at the Somerville Theatre. Tuesday has Widowspeak at TT’s and it’s Session Americana with Duke Levine at the Lizard Lounge. And on Wednesday night John Vanderslice performs at Great Scott and Black Thai, Cocked n Loaded and Goddamn Draculas are at the Middle East Upstairs.

Amy’s Shows List began many years ago as an email list and continues as one to inspire people to catch live music around town. It was featured on Boston Band Crush and is now on The Dig.
My email is AmysShowsList@gmail.com if you have shows to add or want to be on the complete email list (which lists shows far into the future).
