Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
I will listen in a car.
I will listen in a bar.
I will go to Atwood’s Tavern
I will go where’er they have ’em.
I will watch them here or there.
I will watch them anywhere.
I do so like Airport the band.
I do so like them, music fan.
Watching an Airport show makes me feel like Benny from the Lego Movie. Just substitute “Airport!” for “Spaceship!” These guys draw from an endless well of perfectly crafted songs about modern life filtered through a ’70s AM Radio transmission.
That there was damn near perfect. Airport just delivered the best set I’ve ever seen them play. These guys have some of the finest songs in the land. Tonight they delivered them with precision and heart. A great Rumble set.

Nicole Anguish of Daykamp Creative has been designing some amazing posters for Rock-n-Romp Boston since the event’s re-launch back in October. When she was tapped to curate the February edition of this family friendly rock show, it was no surprise that she called upon a band that gets a lot of play in the Daykamp Empire offices. Airport opened the show with their perfect mix of pop, rock, twang and ’70s AM radio nostalgia.
Airport are one heck of a band. Their songs are timeless. Their performances are spot on. These guys are real desert island material. Redstar Union is the perfect venue for them. Richard Bouchard deserves some kind of award for presenting Airport in such a fantastic space.
My goodness, do I love Airport. Every time I listen to this band I become more dependent on their glorious ’70s-radio-made sound. Here are some pictures of the band at the Boston Emissions with Anngelle Wood five year anniversary party.
Have I ever mentioned how great I think Airport’s songs are? Yes, I think I have. My feelings have not changed. They’re still keeping the flame of ’70s AM radio alive. They even did a cover of The Bee Gees’ “To Love Somebody” to further endear themselves to me.* Well played, Airport.
* That’s why they did it, right? Right?
Here’s Airport playing my favorite song from their amazing record. This is how you write a pop song, folks.
Oh, and here are some pictures from their set.
Ever since I heard Go Up, Airport’s glorious take on the sounds of ’70s radio, I’ve been meaning go to one of the band’s shows. I won’t say who’s fault it is,* but I hadn’t been able to make it happen. That all changed Sunday night at Radio. I finally got to catch a set from the sonic sons of Jackson Browne, Tom Petty and Joe Jackson. It was worth the wait.
* Clearly mine. I’d be quick to point out if someone else was at fault.
