GOLF WANG

Earl's home! For those not privy, Earl Sweatshirt is the 18-year-old member of Los Angeles-based hip-hop collective ODD FUTURE who was reportedly sent to a camp for at-risk youth in Samoa just as the group began their 2011 ascent into omnipresence. His only recorded work at the time was a rather excellent mixtape and a music video in which he drinks malt liquor and cough syrup until he pukes, but that didn't stop rabid fans from adapting a "Free Earl" mantra. How big of a role he'll play in their upcoming tour is yet unknown, but one can certainly expect a whole lot of hell-raising and a whole lot of snapbacks at the House of Blues, 15 Lansdowne St, Boston | 7 pm | $30-$45 | livenation.com.
