...fellow Seattle-based group, the band was invited to tour with Death Cab and is promoting its 2004 release Good Health.

Welsh three-piece McLusky brings the pain to Central Square on the heels of their May release The Difference Between You and Me Is I’m Not on Fire, a disc of abrasive punk and indie album mastered by Steve Albini.

The budding Mexican star has convinced audiences he can be a dog-loving street punk (Amores Perros), a priest tortured by love (El Crimen del Padre Amaro), a randy teenager on a spree (Y Tu Mam Tambin). In The Motorcycle Diaries, which just opened, he incarnates the young Ernesto Guevara, soon to be Che. Bad Education follows in November, and after that, who knows...
