Hi! I'm a Brooklyn, NY based artist named looking to tour massachusetts a bit in April. We (being me and the two guys who form my backing band) would love to play Amherst or very nearby, but as out of towners we're doing everything we can to research the music scene there!
We're looking for small rooms <100cap that host rock/pop bands often or even sometimes! that's about all the criteria for now as we're still casting our net wide.
Anyway realy just looking for what venues the locals actually like, as i'm surei t might differ from what shows up when I google "music venues in Amherst"
Thanks a milllion!
PS On the off chance that anyone in here happens to book shows/be in a band in Amherst that could potentially share a bill with us, here's the band instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victorjonesmusic/

Hello, I’m looking for a roommate for a lease starting this summer, with an exact location tbd based on what our shared needs/budget is, but with a slight preference towards access to 116 or university drive for commuting reasons.
I work full-time at the local post office, so I’ll be spending a lot of time out of the apartment, and I have a car and the ability to do most household errands if required. I’m not the neatest person in the world, but my clutter stays confined to my private areas and I do my best to keep shared areas clean
I have no issues with rooming with anyone of any gender or student status, nor with having a pet (depending on lease rules and if said pet is okay with me lol)
Please let me know if you have any interest, so we can find a time to talk about the possibility!
Hi! I’m (f18) looking to start a band with other college kids/ college aged kids. I’m a skilled song writer, pretty good singer, and an okay guitar player. I’m looking for a drummer,bassist, and guitar player if possible. This would be an indie/folk/pop/rock band (thing among the lines of blondie fleetwood mac and lana del rey) so lmk if you’re infested! :)
We’re moving to the area sometime this summer. My husband has a job at UMass, but I’m trying to get a head start on where to look for housing and familiarizing myself with the area.
We need housing in an area with good schools that can accommodate a child with ADHD/autism, preferably in a family centric neighborhood so they have other kids to play with; preferably an area with a great community feel, and one that isn’t too far from dining/shopping. We are undecided on whether we are going to rent or buy because we will only be there 3 to 4 years, but I definitely don’t want to end up renting something near student housing
Thank you! I’m so excited about living in the area; everything I’ve heard is how beautiful it is and how great the people are!
Posting again in hopes more people see it. Am moving to western ma (hopefully amherst area) with my bf and cat in early June. So far people have said Brandywine is great but unfortunately they dont take pets ☹️. Have talked to and plan on submitting an app for Aspen Heights but it is a bit above our budget so id like to find something cheaper. Ive looked on craigslist but most places there are available for now or soon which is not what I need. I know to stay away from Kamins. Any tips would be appreciated!!!
Hey Amherst residents! Im about to graduate from undergrad and am hoping to move me and my bf (and cat) near Amherst to be closer to my bro who is at umass. Hoping for a lease that starts in late May/early June 2025 but have been coming up empty handed with all my searches. Can anyone recommend any good property management companies and/or areas to look at? Am totally into suggestions outside of Amherst like Turners Falls, Northampton etc. Am i looking too early? If so when should I start? Any advice is appreciated!!! Thank you 🙏
Hiya. I have 2 tickets available for the Birdtalker gig at The Drake tonight. I was supposed to come from Boston tonight but can't really make the trip anymore, and don't want the tickets to go to waste. Doors are at 7, show starts at 8. Free to whoever DMs to claim them first.

Hello! I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a hair salon that charges by length rather than gender. I'm a gal with short hair and always feel ripped off when they charge me for a woman's cut but it only takes them twenty minutes to do it all. Any recs?
So I’m fairly new to the area and to being single again (sigh). What are some good spots for a couple of 40-something’s for drinks and maybe even dancing on a Friday night? I’m trying to avoid places where 40 something’s would feel surrounded by the youngs (if that’s possible!). Thanks!
