Rock 'n' roll may have its origins far beyond the banks of the
Charles River, but for musicians and music lovers, the Middle East
is the epicenter of rock in this neck of the woods. Anyone who has
ever thought of playing on a stage in the Boston area or has toured
through town has, at one point or another, walked through these
doors. And if they're not playing here, they're harassing the
booking agents to get a gig here.

What's the coolest thing about this place?
One of the Boston area's only venues that can handle the 200 to 500 person live shows. Because of that I've seen everyone from Front 242 to The Dresden Dolls to King Missile III to Meat Beat Manifesto to Plaid to Autechre there. If it's too big for a dive bar and too small for Avalon it's pretty much the only option right now.
