The magical thing about Christmas falling on a Monday is that you can choose to rage all weekend beforehand and still have an entire day left over to decompress or rewind to do it all over again before the new year. Assuming that you’ve finished all that pesky holiday shopping (you remembered to order Dad’s new life-sized Han Solo carbonite chamber, right?), we’ve compiled a list of shows around town for you to crash this Friday and Saturday, proving rock and roll stops for nothing and no one -- not even spiked eggnog or your grandma's apple pie.
Punk With Purpose at The Midway Cafe in Jamaica Plain
The Midway Cafe hosts “Punk With Purpose“, an afternoon benefit show, on Saturday (December 23) to raise funds for the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church (Bethel AME Church). Starting at 3:40 p.m. Mickey PG and the Overshare will take the stage, followed by Zack Facco of the Facc-Tones, Sound Down Cellar, and the decades-old rockabilly scene staple, the Jonee Earthquake Band. All proceeds will support the ongoing Sanctuary project for undocumented immigrants at the Bethel AME Church.
