Hotline: Instant party? Just add Viva Viva

Hotline all telling you what to do tonight: There are about eight billion cool, edgy and hip things going on tonight, from Japandroids/Love Is All/Girlfriends at the Mid East down (more on that madness later today), Miike Snow and Delorean at the Paradise RC (rightfully sold out-ed) and A Sunny Day in Stockholm/Pants Yell/Bearstronaut at Great Scott (crazy wool pop for the mind).

But never count out Viva Viva, the r&b rock n' roll party crew that never disappoints and seem to create an instant fun-time throwdown wherever they pop up. It also might be a good time to check out the psychedelic indie-shoegaze wash of rising local act Doomstar, who are starting to generate some buzz of their own. This all conveniently goes down at the Mid East's tidy upstairs room, so you can still run downstairs and catch Japandroids if the motivation strikes. Good times.

Let the pretty gal on the flier hammer home the point...
