On FRIDAY (the 28th), the 201 presents feisty garage-rock fun with THE FABULOUS ITCHIES, THE DIVIDERS, and ATLANTIC THRILLS (401.454.4581), while drunk-punk pros THE MCGUNKS (readying a live album release) hit the Broad Street Tap in Cumberland, followed by a headlining gig at Firehouse 13 (401.270.1801) on SATURDAY (the 29th) with REASON TO FIGHT, THE BOARDLORDS (NYC), and more for $5 at the door. Plenty of Saturday action starts with an early one at Club Hell (6 pm doors, 401.709.3923) with THE CLOZAPINES, THE FURIOSITY, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, and others. Or slide over to the Spot Underground (401.383.7133) and soak up the sultry sounds of ROUTE.44 with THE MACROTONES, then make your way to Nick-a-Nee's for MARK CUTLER & MEN OF GREAT COURAGE (21+ and no cover all night, 401.861.7290). A handful of our favorites will gather at Billy Goode's in Newport on Saturday for the Janes Family Benefit, assisting diePods singer Mark Janes with funeral costs associated with the recent passing of his dad). The lineup includes SIX STAR GENERAL and COMA COMA (responsible for two of the best local discs of 2010) with WE OWN LAND and THE DIEPODS; call 401.848.5013 for details. And next THURSDAY (the 2nd), the Met has a triple bill featuring LAST GOOD TOOTH, DIAMOND DOVES (with members of Elvis Perkins in Dearland), and THE SILKS (401.729.1005).
