“One of indie rock’s most beloved live acts.” — Rob Sheffield, Rolling Stone
Storied indie rock quartet Luna—led by Dean Wareham, seen most recently at MASS MoCA as one-half of Dean & Britta—returns after a 10-year hiatus. With its 1999-era lineup, (Wareham, Britta Phillips, Sean Eden, and Lee Wall), the band sounds as strong as ever and is back with a sweet vengeance to open our summer season.

Ye' Olde openmic
The Parlor Café | 303 Ashland St
(413) 346-4279
7 - 9 PM
Free
for more information
Open mic night at the Parlor Café. Sign-up at the bar starts at 7PM. Due to unsustainable demands of licensing -> this really isn't a thing anymore, well, maybe a little bit. If we did do something on a Friday night amongst friends, it would surely only contain the music that the "industry" doesn't own.They would try to tell us we needed one anyways because we can "never be too sure" and we "would be responsible if they did". Terms at the door would definitely be that you couldn't.
