It's time to slow down. December has already been a month full of holiday parties and celebrations, radio-station events and down time with family. The last of the big tours are coming through, and when it happens at the Anti-Monday League, you better catch up with one of the last touring Brit-based bands rolling through. The Boxer Rebellion are performing tonight, and after three records, the band is not to be missed as it has laid steady groundwork to make them a band to know and love. The Boxer Rebellion's latest record just might be the one to launch them to a different level, so be sure to catch them at the Casbah and you can tell your friends you saw them when.
