Indie & alternative shows in Boston

Boston packs a lot into a small map: Allston rock clubs, Cambridge listening rooms, Back Bay comedy and late sets around Downtown Crossing. Indie and alternative shows are where up-and-coming bands play small rooms before they move to bigger ones.

31 events coming up across 9 venues in Boston, including Paradise Rock Club, Roadrunner and Royale. The first starts Tuesday at 8:00 PM.
