Boston Music Poll 2011: Catch these nominees live this week (April 28-May 5)
Mount Peru are at the Middle East Upstairs this Friday
Seems like we just can't get any love from our Best National nominees. (Only one, Wiz Khalifa, makes a stop in town this week.) But that's ok, we know they're busy. We'll just hang with all the Boston acts working hard for those Best votes all week long. (You can get a three-fer at the MayFair in Harvard
Square this weekend.) The weather's supposed to be
just fine so get out there and hear some music, damnit. Then vote for your nods for the
Best of 2011!
