Löded Diper @ MGM Music Hall - Tuesday, April 1
The dog days are over! Indie rock band Löded Diper will be in Boston this week to revive the 2010s grunge rock scene. You might recognize them through their weirdly charming drummer, Rodrick Heffley. With their hit songs like “Explöded Diper”, “Can You Smell Us Now”, and their infamous cover of Justin Bieber’s “Baby” at Heather Hills’ sweet 16th birthday party that went viral online, Löded Diper is guaranteed to put up an unforgettable show. Get a load of this alternative-rock band if you dare; it might be too cool for you to handle, call that a Diper Overlöde.

Sex Bob-Omb @ Toronto International Battle of the Bands - Thursday, April 3
Canada’s second favorite band (right after The Clash at Demonhead) is gearing up for their first performance of the spring! After an…interesting…collaboration with first evil ex Matthew Patel at Club Rockit, the group is going to be competing for a coveted spot at Gideon Graves’ record label. Big fan of their songs “Garbage Truck” and “Threshold”? We sure hope so, because they’re going to be stuck in our heads while we’re fighting off any evil exes to get tickets to this one of a kind performance.
