Band In Boston

We guarantee, if you see this band live, you’ll be a lifelong fan. They’re Steve Wynn’s backing band, for god’s sake. They’re at the Lizard Lounge TONIGHT with a great lineup. Song List: No Sex No Fun Stupid Girl All the World’s a Song She Ain’t My Baby Teenage Dreams Is My Loving in Vain […]

This week, we found a few more precious gems in the mine that is Boston music. Featuring Scuba, Hammarsing, Chris Brokaw, Audrey Ryan, Smyer, Ponies in the Surf, Scary Mansion, Michael Leviton, Baker, The Teenage Prayers, Girls Guns and Glory, and Young Galaxy.

Diselhourse has recently reworked the lineup a bit – from what I hear, a bit more poppy. So here’s your last chance to check out the punky/countryish side of the ‘hourse. Song List: Red Dog (Bitten by the) Folsom Prison Blues (by Johnny Cash) Vladnakova Oh Rita Unframed Badastranta Can’t Have You Paddlin’ I’ll Stay […]

Drugs Delaney came in when it was just Matt – he was looking for a band, but just had a guitar and a bunch of great songs. Since then, he’s found a band, and written a few more great songs. See them all at The Abbey Lounge on Wednesday! Song List: Not Junk What You […]

It was 85 degrees today. Sorry if we leaned a little bit…. cute with the tunes this week. Savor the cuteness with MMOSS, The Snow Leopards, Drugs Delaney, Deerhunter, Dr. Dog, The Teeth, Hoots & Hellmouth, Pela, Bishop Allen, The Icicles, The Smittens, The Willowz, Township live at the BCN Rock N’ Roll Rumble, Mittens, […]

Normally a 3-piece, today they brought a sax and a mandolin. Classy, classic tunes that range from sounding like Elvis Costello to Van Morrison to Thin Lizzy to John Prine. If that doesn’t sound good to you, I don’t know what to say. Song List: Olive Wine My Flat of the Hill Wrong Crowd My […]

Dedicated to Mr. Tiny Bubbles himself. Featuring Tucker Mayer, Jason Anderson & the Best, Tigersaw, Hats and Glasses, The Shout Abouts, Richard Swift, David Vandervelde & the Moonstation House Band, Reports, and The Break Mission. Happy 2nd Birthday, Jake!

Their song titles don’t make sense, but the tunes sure do. They’re at The Kirkland Cafe TONIGHT! Song List: Macaw Lily of the Mouth Pinch & Bust Aire Dales Cape the Pearls Abraham Lincoln Fist Wings Following The Yellow Room

It’s out half-centennial (but in shows, not years) Flophouse Session, and Brooklyn’s The Subjects get to do the honors. They’re at Great Scott in mere minutes on an awesome bill, so go! Song List: Little Mountain Tops Swept Upon Speaking Parts The Ballad of Davy Crockett Lonely You Time

It’s a little hard to describe these guys. I guess the best we can do is “glam with soul”. Which clearly isn’t right for a band that covers the VU so well. I can’t do it justice, so give it a listen and come up with your own inappropriate pigeonhole. Song List: Violets Sludgeguff Remember […]

Wow. That is such a bad idea. This week brings some more excellent shows, and a total meltdown of our recording program. Featuring Peeping Tom, Windy Smiles, Paleo, These United States, Hammarsing, The Subjects, Wonderful Spells, Eee Adams from Rock City Crimewave, two songs from The Dead Trees, The Whiskey Giants, Mittens, Tulsa, and we […]

Ara Vora were a blast to have in – great tunes, great guys. They’re at Zuzu this Monday. Now that’s how you start a week right! Song List: Dying to Sleep at Night Runway A Tobacco Sunburst Finish The Aether is in Short Supply Porn Distributor Cap No Exit Rockstar Dr. Song Dusty Buzz Whiskey […]

Yoni (and his band, The Goods) is/are playing twice this week – Friday at the Cambridge Elks, and Sunday at The Abbey. He’s got a voice and style that’s a little tough to capture with the measley microphones that are currently known to man, so go see him live. Song list: Long Black Veil (by […]

The Jaguar Club came up from Brooklyn last year and got screwed by playing the night of a Patriots playoff game. They lost, but you win when you go seem them at Great Scott this Wednesday! Song List: Modern Ways World Gone By Beautiful House In Antarctica This Year The Sirens

Pretty much the only word we have yet to use… Yet. Featuring Locksley, Scissors for Lefty, Age Rings, The Jaguar Club, The Self Righteous Brothers, Dangerously Janovitz, The Diamond Mines, Perennials, The Shrinking Islands, Youth Group, Aqueduct, The Texas Governor, Township, Eli “Paperboy” Reed and the True Loves, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Pants Yell!, […]
