Brighton, MA Settles Into Schubas

We know the economy is in the shitter and it's hard to find a good reason to sink money into any kind of outing. Luckily for you, Schubas Tavern is on the case with another round of their fantastic Monday residencies. This month's resident band is local indie popsters Brighton, MA, fresh off the October 2008 release of their LP Amateur Lovers. They're bringing along several other local bands for the ride and according to the band, a few of this month's sets will be special "acoustic" sets. Best of all? Every show is abso-freaking-lutely FREE. Many of us will be in attendance throughout the month (especially the February 16th set featuring Grammar, band of Chicagoista Lizz Kannenberg). Tonight's opener is Cast Spells a.k.a. Dave from Maps & Atlases. For Bonus Brighton, check out their recent appearance at Daytrotter.

Brighton MA residency, Every Monday in February, 9:00 p.m., 21+, Schubas Tavern, 3159 N. Southport, Free
