Okay, we’ve sung the praises of GREAT SCOTT in our “Best” issues before, under different headings, but it’s still the best hang going for discovering up-and-coming music — wghether its townie guitar bands and DJs, or touring bands making their first Boston stop. A few years ago, you might have heard Brazilian Girls before you knew that they weren’t Brazilian and that there was only one “girl” in the group. Or, more recently, you could have heard CSS — who are Brazilian . . . and mostly girls. And how many chances do you think you’ll get to hear GS regular Yeasayer before they move to headliner status? A varied booking policy of nights produced by the Pill, Fenway Recordings Sessions, the Plan, and Basstown makes for an endlessly varied flow. Which means Great Scott is still the best place to find out what’s going on before you need to know.
