MIDDLE EAST
Date(s):
Monday, November 12, 2007
STAIR CASES
Indie devotees: mark your calendars now — November 12 will be a big night at the Middle East. Fans of classically informed, pop-minded looped-violin-and-vocals music likely already had tickets to the
FINAL FANTASY
show upstairs. But now the club has announced that
CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH
will play the downstairs room the same night (tickets on sale Friday at 10 am). Sure, CYHSY’s cool cachet has been on the wane, but not enough so that this show isn’t a sure sellout, especially since it’s at a much smaller venue than they’ve played since
Pitchfork
decided they were the best thing since Neutral Milk Hotel or something, two-plus years ago. Get your stair-climbing shoes ready | Final Fantasy upstairs at the Middle East, 472 Mass Ave, Cambridge | November 12 | $9 | On sale now | Clap Your Hands Say Yeah downstairs at the Middle East, 480 Mass Ave, Cambridge | November 12 | $15 | On sale Friday at 10 am | 617.931.2000 or

Best Club For Rock
The trusty Middle East takes the crown. No surprise there: the four-venues-in-one Central Square stalwart continues to bring in the best local and national bands and present them satisfyingly loud and clear, as every good rock club should.
Best Club For Hip-Hop
The Boston hip-hop scene is definitely thriving these days: talented local MCs, DJs, and producers are constantly emerging, while national acts are ever more frequently coming to town. And all this with only a handful of hip-hop-friendly venues. As your votes show, the Middle East has stepped it up on the hip-hop tip over the past few years, hosting shows by big national names like Royce Da 5’9”, underground heroes like Murs, and loads of local faves like the Perceptionists and Slaine.
