I'm not gonna lie. When I saw that Bbmak was playing the House of Blues, I had to do a double take. That Bbmak? Like that old brit-pop band from the '90s? Indeed, after 16 years, the trio has reunited and is doing a tour with a stop tonight at the House of Blues. But of course, there are other great options with which one might want to close out the weekend. Perhaps Guerilla Toss are more up your alley? Their cacophonous music is frenetic and energetic, and tonight, the band appears at the Casbah. Meanwhile, a band once known as Smith Westerns have been steadily growing, gaining indie cred and switching up their lineup to become Whitney. They headline the Observatory, while multi-instumentalist Matt Heckler will have you stomping your feet along to his jams at Soda Bar. It's a great Sunday, just don't forget to set your clock back before you fall asleep.
