I'd like to mosh some time before the new year, but don't know any venues. The Sinclair had Origami Angel a few weeks ago which was really fun but their upcoming concerts don't seem very punk. Any suggestions?
This is the least punk sounding post
Joe Sly we hardly knew ye.
(EDIT: actually helpful answer) Hardcore Stadium / Cambridge Elks books rad shows.
Ask Joe Sly.
The cops do break balls something wicked here.
BRB, pissing green beer.
I thought they were shutting the doors over there?
Gatekeepers get fucked
Please don’t say that’s true :(

That's what I heard few months ago - that a rich family was planning to build a hotel with stages to replace ME. So far nothing seem to came out of those plans.
No signs of ME shutting down...yet. Saw a bunch of shows there just last month.
The same rich family the currently own it, in conversations with the city to build a hotel and keep the music venues at the bottom, lame imho
Super lame. I wish people with money invested into smaller/mid-sized venues instead of hotels and luxury apartments.
Alas...
My friends play at Hardcore Stadium (Central Square) a bunch. I think it’s an elks lodge.
O’brien’s in Allston or Faces in Malden
cantab lounge, obriens, lizard lounge, crystal ballroom, the middle east, the lilypad, are all some local venues that might have what you’re looking for
Charlie’s still has shows on Mondays. Sonia has punk shows from time to time. Best bet is probably O’Brien’s or the Elks. There was a killer hardcore show at the Democracy Center last weekend but it’s not a regular thing. Also basement shows still happen but you need to ask a punk directly (you won’t see it posted online).
There’s actually a huge hardcore show tomorrow at 3 but it’s sold out.

Yeah - I remember reading that too. But this was back in September and it seems like ME is still going strong. Doesn't necessarily mean it will go on forever like that, of course...I'd hate for this city to lose another small venue. Losses are deep enough already as it is.
Is Democracy Center still going? Every time I pass by that place it looks like no one is there anymore. They used to host Boston Hassle meetups.
Yep, Ralph’s is badass
