By MICHAEL MAROTTA  |  March 7, 2012

TWIN BERLIN | Hard Rock Café | March 9 | Connecticut-bred Twin Berlin is finally taking off. There Goes My Virtue was recorded with Travis Barker of Blink 182 in Los Angeles after the drummer handpicked the trio over 6700 other entries in a Guitar Center competition. The sound is still indebted to the Strokes, but who cares? The EP's cover artwork was painted by former Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh just before his passing. | 22-24 Clinton St, Boston | $10 | hardrockcafe.com/boston
