The traditional gift for a 6^th wedding anniversary is candy. The traditional gift for a 6^th birthday is also candy. To celebrate KLYAM’s 6^th anniversary/birthday, let’s break with tradition head to the Middle East Upstairs for their 6^th anniversary show.

KYLAM will, predictably, celebrate with four awesome Boston punk acts. THE BARBAZONS bring the perky retro garage sounds, and their live show promises to be dynamite, even as they distance themselves from their costume-y former identity. East Coast Beach Boys ATLANTIC THRILLS harness raspy vocals to surf guitars and sticky-sweet two part harmonies. G. GORDON GRITTY’s monotone ties together plodding rhythm swirling, fuzzy guitars. Sometime-Barbazons NICE GUYS round out the night with their dictionary-definition punk.

It’s going down at the Middle East Upstairs tonight at 8:00. Bring candy, or don’t, it’s up to you, but you should absolutely turn out to support KLYAM tonight. –Josie Grove
