Get out to The Middle East Upstairs tonight for a post-solstice slammer of a show! Boston alt rock veterans Lyres will be servin’ up their sticky sweet, bluesy bends and 60’s drenched garage numbers – complete with shakin’ rotary organ – PLUS they’re dishing up their newest record, so be sure to grab a copy quick (they’re gonna sell like hotcakes). And who needs the B’s when you’ve got The Z’s? The Zambonis are polished and versatile, bringing their zest for ice-life to gritty overdriven punk, backcountry singalongs, 42-second hardcore riffs, and pretty much everything in between. The Doug MacDonald Band rounds out the gig with a Route 66 set – dusty, psychy sound with driving drumbeats. Celebrate the Midsummer madness the right way with these stellar bands.
