Local 121's Tap Room starts the weekend off proper with DJ WAY O'MALLEY (also guitarist for the bad-ass Panther Modern) on the turntables THURSDAY (the 22nd), followed by DJ NICKDE PARIS on FRIDAY (the 23rd); both sets are 21+ with no cover, call 401.274.2121 for the full scoop. Also on Friday, the Met hosts local jam quintet SAUCE (their "Christmas Time on Planet Funk" party) with guests THE ALCHEMYSTICS; $10 at the door, call 401.729.1005. Enjoy the last-minute mall anxiety, pro football, and yuletide cheer this weekend, then get back after it with A FAYLENE SKY and DIE ANOTHER DAY leading the way at Firehouse 13 (401.270.1801) on TUESDAY (the 27th), while the Whiskey Republic (401.588.5158) continues their free-of-charge "Tuesdays Unplugged" series with singer/songwriters BRIAN MARQUIS, MATT DUQUETTE, and ANDREW SPATZ.
