Fri. Oct. 19 Martin Doyle has been scrambling to relocate the shows he booked at the Basement at the Baseball Tavern, after the Tarvern owners decided, essentially, a baseball tavern should be about baseball and that noise in the basement - the roc k 'n' roll - wasn't a good thing during the post-season. Especially when the Red Sox are in it and the place is a magnet. So, Doyle is out. Some good news, though: He's placed the Gang Green (in photo, when they were very very young) show on for Friday Oct. 19 at the Cantab Lounge, part of Mickey Bliss's "Club Bohemia" night. My lord, it's been years since Gang Green crashed the hardcore party, with carousing songs about drinking and cussing, upending 'til tuesday's "Voices Carry" and winning the WBCN Rumble. We confess we haven't seen them in years, and are never really sure if they're still a band or not. Apparently, after this gig they won't be for a while. They'll be hiatus for a year. Which means, all you old punks - and young ones lookin' for a blast of snotty energy - should head for Central Square in Cambridge, where $10 gets you in the door. Two Saints and two other bands are also on the bill. Starts at 9 p.m. 738 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, 617-354-2685 www.cantab-lounge.com
