Indie & alternative shows in Boston this weekend

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.

3 events this weekend across 3 venues in Boston, including Paradise Rock Club, Roadrunner and The Cantab Lounge. The first starts Sunday, Oct 25.
