I haven’t been in Boston in what feels like years now but luckily am back next week, just in time for the closing of the Abbey Lounge. It friggin sucks to see it come to this, the closing of another good venue due to boring as hell back tax issues and other money BS. Of all the lame non-punk ways to bite it – where’s a good (non-fatal, non-disfiguring) pyrotechnic mishap when you need one? The Abbey has been open for 75 years though, a good run by any estimation. Here’s a sampling of who’s playing at the LAST BLAST party on the 26th.

The Konks

Muck and the Mirers

Sprained Ankles

Tampoffs

Triple Thick
