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.
Christmas With The Stampede at ONCE Ballroom in Somerville
Nothing says Christmas like tacos and rock in Somerville. On Saturday (December 23), ONCE Ballroom throws their 7th annual “Christmas With The Stampede” show, featuring performances from Fire in the Field, Radium Girls, The Rupert Selection, and naturally, The Stampede. With The Rupert Selection’s new EP Modern Playground Medicine tearing things up of late, the snow (and faces) are bound to melt.
