In the few months since I've been a TIGer, nary a Boston band I know well has dropped by your corner — until tonight! Boston duo Big Digits (one of whom is actually a Seattlite originally) are playing a dance party that sounds wicked wicked wicked* fun. B illed, in fact, as "The Most Fun Dance Party In Town" on its MySpace, I have to believe they people behind Ruff Gemz are telling the truth because Big Digits, in their mask-wearing laptop beat-making dance-fevering glory, put on a show that's off the effing hook. Info from Big Digits' MySpace below:

Well, except I can't go. But YOU can!
Here's a sample Big Digits lyric, from "Hey Birthday":
So you think that you can model for American Apparel
But you get your fashion sense from Perry Farrell
This ain't a party, it's a LOSER-palooza
And I've heard better music from John Philip Sousa
And now, nine seconds of Big Digits:
