'Front Row' Live Music Picks From Bradley Jay

BOSTON (CBS) - Remember how much fun it you had last time you saw a great rock band? Well here is your chance to feel the rock passion again.

Check out The Wedding Present at the Brighton Music Hall Friday, March 23. This band formed in 1984 in Leeds, England and has been an underground darling since. Their musical influences include U.K. greats The Fall, Buzzcocks and Gang of Four. The Wedding Present are the real thing. Trust me.

Also, coming Monday, March 26 to the Brighton Music Hall is the Brooklyn based Chairlift. Chairlift is Caroline Polachek (vocals, tambourine, synthesizer) and Patrick Wimberly (drums, bass guitar, and keyboard). This dream-pop krewe is a part of the current wave of indisputably cool acts Brooklyn is producing. Do yourself a favor and experience what is happening now in the live music scene.

I hope to see you in the front row.
