MAFE!: HOMEGROWN III 10/14 – 10/16

The blizzard that is the East Coast underground comes ashore at a new locale this year. Big Digits? Major Stars? Cave Bears? Hyena? Free Pizza? White Limo? Typically these bands are so underground we can’t write about them without being inundated with hate mail, but every so often they get together and it’s kosher to put in the paper. Like this one.

HOMEGROWN FEST @ THE TEMPLE

The JP-based urbane urban art collective Whitehaus Family Record lends its storied quirk to the tangible weirdness of the psychedelic cool kids behind Bodies of Water Arts and Crafts for an all-out bizarre throwdown for the underground set. For three days, Homegrown II plies its new digs at The Temple with the finest in backyard offerings of the odd, bringing together well over 60 of Boston’s up-and-coming Beefhearts, Zappas and Waitseses, and all the kudzu-solos and wicked facial hair that entails. So turn on, tune in, drop out … and don’t forget snacks. [670 Centre St., Jamaica Plain. 617.942.7164. all ages/$15.50 per day. homegrownfestboston.com]
