\"\"<\/a>Hey guys! Hope your semester is going well. I know we\u2019re reaching that midway point where everything starts to pile on and get really stressful. So what\u2019s keeping me going these days? Well I\u2019ll tell you. One of my favorite things about Boston is the incredible music scene. So many fantastic bands and artists come through here and I love going to shows and checking out new venues. The promise of seeing my favorite band is an incredible motivation to keep going during this time of the year. Here a few upcoming concerts in the Boston area that I\u2019m looking forward to.<\/p>\n

Freelance Whales – November 3 @ Paradise Rock Club<\/p>\n

This is literally one of my favorite bands. They\u2019re not too well-known but I highly recommend checking them out. Anyone heard of Darren Criss? His brother Chuck is in this band! They were here last November too and I met him after the show. Cool guy. They just released their second album a few weeks back which I was able to download for free when I bought my ticket to this show. Listen to \u201cHannah\u201d and \u201cStarring\u201d and \u201cGenerator (Second Floor)\u201d to get you started. You\u2019ll love them.<\/p>\n

The Script – November 9 @ Agganis Arena<\/p>\n

A little more mainstream and right at home! I work at Agganis as a Guest Services Representative so I\u2019ll actually be getting paid to watch this concert. Gotta love those perks. The couple songs I have from them I absolutely love and I hear they are fantastic live. So if any of you guys are going, I\u2019ll be working the floor and you should definitely come say hi!<\/p>\n

Motion City Soundtrack – November 9 @ Paradise Rock Club<\/p>\n

Oh this band reminds me of high school. Their album \u201cEven If It Kills Me\u201d was played nonstop for a good four months during junior year. It drove everyone crazy but this is one of those throwback bands that I still love to go see. They just have a very distinct style. I\u2019m not as crazy about their newer stuff than their old albums but I love them just the same. Unfortunately, it\u2019s the same night as The Script (and right next door too!). I\u2019ve seen them before though so no harm done. So if you guys are looking for something to do that weekend, look no further than West Campus!<\/p>\n

Of Monsters and Men – November 19 @ Orpheum Theater<\/p>\n

I fell in love with this band over the summer. Just so refreshingly different from the indie\/rock genre. This band is really picking up speed. Orpheum is a really nice theater right next to Boston Common. I saw Snow Patrol (with Ed Sheeran opening!) there back in April. When I heard that\u2019s where they would be playing, I got really excited cause they definitely have the talent to sell it out. I still haven\u2019t bought my tickets yet for this but I\u2019m dying to go. Check out \u201cLittle Talks\u201d and \u201cKing and Lionheart\u201d. My personal favorites.<\/p>\n

The Killers – December 17 @ Agganis Arena<\/p>\n

Another concert I will get paid to watch. I\u2019ve been listening and loving them for years, and I\u2019m so stoked to work this event. I\u2019ll still be here for finals so if anyone of you are in the area, don\u2019t miss out. It\u2019s really going to be a fantastic show. If anyone can deliver an unforgettable modern rock concert, it\u2019s The Killers.<\/p>\n

So there you have it! A little something to keep you going in these next few weeks. At the very least, you have some awesome new music to check out. If anyone knows any other shows coming up, let me know. I\u2019m always down to check out new artists. And if you ever see me rocking out at any of these, come join me!<\/p>\n
