Bowery Boston and the American Express ZYNC card are hooking up the Hub with a FREE show from our homeboys Passion Pit this Saturday. Held at the shiny new Royale, the show will also feature a performance from local favorite DJ Die Young.

Today marked the kick-off of the first ever Together Electronic Music Festival. We hit up the launch party to see what the organizers and participants had to say and learned that, if anything, the fest was quite aptly named– but we’ll let them tell you about it.

By now you may have noticed our snappy new events calendar holding it down over on the Events Calendar page– but we thought we’d keep up the habit of highlighting some of our favorite happenings each weekend.

4 days of planning, 3 bands, 2 DJs, 1 sold-out night at Great Scott and a whoooole lot of help from our friends added up to about $3,000 going straight into the pockets of reputable aid organization Partners in Health for use in their earthquake relief efforts in Haiti.

TeaParty Boston has partnered with Great Scott in Allston in an effort to raise money for earthquake relief in Haiti. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Partners in Health, a Boston-based organization that already has a great reputation for providing quality health care to the people of Haiti.

Music: there’s lots of it this weekend. Whether you want to listen to it in clubs stuffy or spacious, from sources live or digital, in a house or with a mouse, you are in luck.
