Bill's Bar

5.5 Lansdowne St., Boston, MA, (617) 421-9678. From the black-and-white portraits of Bob Marley and Kurt Cobain to the wallpaper collage of rock-star obituaries, Bill's black-comedy decor pays tribute to deceased music idols and the situations that rendered them stiff. Bill's weekly musical repertoire includes live bands and various genre-dabbling DJs. ÒLow Life WednesdayÓ features DJ Dr. Tim and a live rock band. Thurs. is swing night, with dance instruction and a live band (the Flying Neutrinos will appear through Sept.). On ÒNocturnal Fridays,Ó WBCN presents new rock. On Sun., reggae is jammin' at the bar.
