MUSIC | The Opportunes

Harvard’s oldest co-ed acapella group hosts their “How the Grinch Stole Jam.” Known for their intricate six to eight part harmonies, great stage presences and strong sense of humor, The Opportunes promise to be fun to welcome in the holiday season with. Tickets available at the Harvard box office for $7. 3 p.m. Sanders Theatre. (NNH)

MUSIC | Lucia Lie, A Hero Next Door, Anti-Love Project, Via Audio

It’s an evening of variety. Lucia Lie’s slow, sad melody shares the bill with Anti-Love Project, who dabble in “noisy, erotic, and bombastic” indie rock. Later on, band Via Audio floats in with airy (yet aggressive!) pop. All these groups have loyal listeners, but the treat of the evening may be A Hero Next Door—fans swear these punk/metal rockers’ talent knows no bounds. Upstairs at the Middle East. 9 p.m. 18+. Tickets $9. (JET)
