Mission of Burma's Miller gets surreal in Somerville

Mission of Burma hits the Paradise Friday and Saturday for furtherance of the band's second coming. But whether or not you make one of those sure-to-be-fiery gigs, you might want to check out Burma guitarist Roger Miller hosting Surreal Night in Somerville on Jan. 23. He'll be DJing and hosting an evening of Exquisite Corpse games - "the riotous mind-bending games that were developed by Andre Breton and his co-conspirators during the 1920's and '30's heyday of surrealism." Cool, I think. He's even picked some favorite beers to serve. The event is at the Center for Arts at the Armory, in the Cafe, beginning at 7 p.m., which seems awfully early for surrealism. Tickets, $8 in advance, are available at brownpapertickets.com. For more information please visit artsatthearmory.org or call 617-718-2191.
