Guillermo Sexo, Slowdim, Lindsey Starr and Confessions | Great Scott | 15 Jan.

Guillermo Sexo, Slowdim, Lindsey Starr, Confessions | Great Scott | 15 Jan.

Just look at this bill. Just look at it. We'll give you a minute.

This is what an average Wednesday night in Boston looks like (or, more to the point, sounds like) these days, folks. But just because the scene is vibrant and strong and delivers hot bills like this with heartbeat regularity (to whit, Thursday's show with Earthquake Party and the re-Modaked Infinity Girl and Chandeliers, and let's not even start talking about next week yet, hot damn) doesn't mean we shouldn't heed the call of the rock and roll music tomorrow. Particularly what with Clicky Clicky faves Guillermo Sexo and Slowdim appearing on the same bill -- indeed, it may be an unprecedented pairing (we'll have our imaginary intern run that down. ARVIN!). Both acts featured on our lists of 2013 superlatives (!, !). The social media scuttlebutt is that Slowdim may premiere a new song, and given the furious pace with which Guillermo Sexo's Reuben Bettsak writes songs (more about that next week), we can only imagine that combo will also have something new up its proverbial sleeve.

What of the balance of the bill? It's been months since electropop duo Confessions unveiled its debut EP on Vanya Records, which we wrote about here, so we'll be interested to hear whether they've got something new in store as well. Lindsey Starr is a relatively unknown quantity to us here at Clicky Clicky HQ, but there are ample rock sounds present in this digital single released in early 2013, and folks will recognize certain names among her cohort, including former Protokoll bandmates Danny O'Neil (bass, now of Young Adults) and Ben Greenspan (guitar, engineer for hot rock bands like Young Adults). Whatever Great Scott is charging Wednesday is likely a BAH-GIN. We just checked -- 8 bucks! -- it is, indeed. In short, going to this show is like paying yourself a salary of rock music. All the details are at this Facebook event page right here. Whilst you sit back and reflect upon the good fortune that brought you to this bright moment in your life, why not stream some songs via the embeds below?
