Local Anesthesia: Sail away Mariner take the helm on Hurry Up and Wait by BOB GULLA

When Mission of Burma played their first gig in more than 15 years last Thursday, one old hand remarked that there were more video cameras on hand at soundcheck than there had been patrons at some of the band's gigs back in the '80s. The reunited trio have already sold out their two scheduled shows this Friday night at Avalon and Saturday night at the Paradise, so they've added a Saturday-afternoon all-ages gig at the Paradise (617-423-NEXT) for which tickets were still available at press time. Those appearances are drawing attention from out-of-town fans including Rocket from the Crypt's John "Speedo" Reis, who arranged for his garage-punk side project the Sultans to be in town this weekend so he could catch Burma. The Sultans are upstairs at the Middle East (617-864-EAST) in Cambridge on Saturday.
