55 Lansdowne St.
There are so many techno/house/blahblah boxes on Lansdowne that Bill's Bar stands out most as a live music venue. The stage takes, well, centerstage in a room plastered with rock n' roll obituaries. The new big thing here is Monsta Mondays, featuring local and touring old school rock bands. This continues the tradition started in the now defunct Mama Kin. Sundays feature reggae and Underground Thursdays dish up anything alternative. Everybody's a friend here. Talk to any of the staff, all of whom belong to one band or another, to find out what's going on in the underground.

Club Passim
47 Palmer St.,
Harvard Square
492-7679
Not enough people realize the cool music that goes on in this basement hovel. Club Passim looks like a tame cafe, but it is an institution. It's where big names like Joan Baez and Bob Dylan got started, and it continues to draw top folk, bluegrass and special acts. Many a night also find the place packed elbow-to-elbow with kids from school (mostly the a cappella crowd) when Harvard's own amazing talents take the stage.
