Where to go for live music in Winter Hill or East Somerville?

I think that it was somewhere in Somerville Scout that I recently read something about only New York having more artists per capita than the City of Somerville. Music is no small part of the artistic contributions throughout the city. Somerville has plenty of places to see local and visiting musicians play, Precinct, Johnny D's, The Burren, PA's Lounge, Sally O'Briens to name a few; and that's not even to mention the various local house, studio, and loft shows that happen around town. And don't forget the live mariachi at at El Potro in Union Square! A search on myspace gives me about 2400 hits for bands claiming Somerville as their home (ok, I'm not sure if I did that right, but you get the point).

That said, I am not aware of too many places in Winter Hill or East Somerville to see live music. If places exist, please let us all know! If they don't exist, what current establishments might make the best live music venues?

Looking forward to your responses!

And let's hear it for some of the locals (click picture to see more):

Print is not dead!: Somerville Scout

Just flipped through the Spring 2010 issue of Somerville Scout, and was once again thoroughly entertained. This edition features a cover story about the Boston Milita womens football team, who have a home opener tonight at 6pm at Dilboy Stadium (110 Alewife Brook Parkway), with a post-game party at On the Hill Tavern (499 Broadway). Plenty of other tidbits of interest in this issue, including mention of the now open Yak and Yeti Nepali restaurant, (supposedly opened in April) at 719 Broadway, in the extended Winter Hill area (ok, it's really Ball Square).

Brazilian Times‎ is published out of Winter Hill

I was recently tipped off about the fact that publishing headquarters for Brazilian Times is right here in Winter Hill:


Given the "estimated more than 30,000 Brazilians living in Somerville", this is obviously a great resource to the local community and beyond. The one catch- as far as I know there is currently no English language translation; however, Marcelo Zicker, a reporter with the Brazilian Times will be writing for Somerville Scout as a reporter and blogger with posts in both English and Portuguese, covering events promoted by the Brazilian community.
